Recent reports gave us hope of finding the woodpecker at Constance Bay after several unsuccessful tries last year. We started well with a perched hawk on March Road. Look like a Broad-winged.
We drove straight to Constance Bay and when w turned onto Ritchie Street, we saw a couple of photographers. We knew it was out luck day. The Red-headed Woodpeckers were at a nest hole feeding young. They would fly off for food and quickly return.
While the other guys were sticking around, we figured we could not improve over what we had. Barbara wanted to check the beach, and Bill wanted to see what was at the creek.
We went down Vance's Side Road and stopped at the bridge. Barbara got a Common Yellowthroat and Bill saw a distant cormorant and a family of Wood Ducks. There were also distant young Pied-billed Grebes on both sides of the bridge.
We moved to the bridge at Thomas Dolan Parkway. There was a young Osprey in the nest and several painted turtles on logs. A few Common Terns were swooping in the back.
We went home via 5th Line and found one of the Blue Birds.
There was nothing on Berry, so we went back on Cameron Harvey Dr. where an adult Osprey was still on the nest.
