This year my breathless bird has been the Red-headed Woodpecker that has been making my week brighter. It has been here since Friday at my best guess. Still here this AM, pecking away at the suet and scattering seeds from my feeders. Its a WOW bird for me, and Im hoping against hope that it may find a mate and nest, since I have no starlings in my immediate vicinity. (I knocked wood after I wrote that ) Holly Peirson SE Anoka Co, Columbus Twnshp PS: If you want to see Red-headed Woodpeckers in the summer, one of the best places in this area is Cedar Creek Natural History Area just E. of Hwy 65 on Hwy 24. A place where theyve been seen regularly there is a large wooded area around E Bethel Blvd near Hwy 26 also. They are declining, but can be seen in oak savanna areas. -----Original Message----- From: mou-net-ad...@cbs.umn.edu [mailto:mou-net-ad...@cbs.umn.edu]on Behalf Of Pastor Al Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 3:29 PM To: mou-...@cbs.umn.edu; birdc...@listserv.arizona.edu; wisbi...@lawrence.edu Subject: [mou] Migratory "goosebumps" Which common spring migratory bird still leaves you breathless upon its "first of year" return? For me it's the Scarlet Tanager (and, one year, its Summer cousin within the same 20 minutes). Good birding to all!
