Shannon and I drove up to Aurora this morning to look for the Red-headed Woodpeckers previously reported in Aurora. We were there for about 20 minutes before one flew from the west side of Rt. 90 to the woodlot where others had found them. The bird we saw flew initially to a tree on the edge and then to the Sycamore Jay mentioned, where I lost it for a few minutes. I saw it fly again a bit to the N where it stayed sitting on a horizontal branch affording us both good views.
Also in the same general area were an Osprey, Belted Kingfisher, E Wood Pewee, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Catbird and Baltimore Oriole. We checked Ledyard Rd for Grasshopper Sparrow but came up empty, but with the wind and contruction noise up the road we easily could have missed them...
