Re: [cayugabirds-l] RHWO at Long Point

[Alicia Plotkin]

In 2011 many birders, including my husband & me, went over to the Aurora 
to see the nesting RH Woodpeckers at Paines Creek, easily visible and 
audible from Rte 90.  This is abt 1/2 mile north of Long Point.  A 
gentleman who said he lived in Aurora stopped to chat with my husband & 
me.  He seemed surprised by all the birders and said he had seen RH 
Woodpeckers in Aurora since he had moved there from Mississippi, where 
he said they were pretty common, abt 10 years before.  He also directed 
me to a second nest further north on Rte 90 - he said he met his kids 
there when the bus dropped them off from school so had noticed the nest 
tree while waiting, and he suspected these weren't the only two nests in 
and around the village but they were the only two he knew of that 
spring.  I went and easily found the second nest with his directions.


There is only a scattering of eBird reports for Aurora: 1972, 1990, 
1996, 2008, and 2011 (many). Yet in 2011 the gentleman from Mississippi, 
who seemed quite reliable (and definitely knew the difference between a 
Red-Bellied & Red_Headed Woodpecker) said they were there every year.  
Does anyone in Aurora enter RH Woodpeckers in eBird when they see them, 
or otherwise keep track of them?  Does anyone else regularly check out 
the Aurora area for them?


Just curious about whether they are usually absent or only usually 
absent from birding records.

I once saw a Red-headed Woodpecker sitting on a fence between my home and 
Slatervile. Red-heads do a lot of fly catching, just like flyctchers. When I 
came home the woodpecker was dead along the road. Good luck to the redhead. I 
have since chided myself for not stopping the car and chasing the redhead away.

At 12:30 pm today I saw a RHWO Redheaded Woodpecker sitting on a fence post and 
then flying. It was on Lake Rd about 0.5 mi north of Long Pt State Park in 
Aurora. It was beautiful—crisp lack and white with a deep scarlet red head.
