Hi Birders, I noticed a few people having luck spotting the Red-headed Woodpecker from Lakeshore Road in Lansing. This is a safe, quiet street to pull over and listen/look. As this is my neighborhood, I did want to alert you that yesterday I moved a teeny tiny hatchling Painted Turtle off of Lakeshore Road. Every spring they hatch alongside the road and try to move across it, which every spring results in casualties (one day last year I found as many as 5). If you come to look for the woodpecker, please be on the lookout for any suspicious "gravel" that is round and smooth, and investigate it for baby turtle. The one I found yesterday was about the size of a quarter. Those of us who live and walk along this street appreciate your hypervigilant gaze for baby turtles in the road (it's very safe to stop and move them, I do it all the time).
Also please note that Wilderness Road is a private road.
