This morning I found a juvenile RED-HEADED WOODPECKER at the Durland Preserve on Ellis Hollow Road. It flew into a snag along the first hedgerow not far in from the parking lot, before the trail in the woods to the Hirshfeld Platform. It didn't stay long before flying over the woods headed west. I was not able to relocate it in this area or in the snags at the platform, but it's possible it could still be around.

Alex Wiebe also had a Red-headed near campus yesterday, apparently exhibiting pretty similar behavior: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39173085 Lots of new migrants are around today, with several good warbler flocks around the north side of the Lab of Ornithology and on the Wilson Trail. I highly recommended getting out today or this weekend to see some warbler diversity.
