This (Friday) afternoon, an adult Red-headed Woodpecker was observed flying at Chestnut Ridge Hawkwatch, Bedford Corners NY (just outside the city/township limits of Mount Kisco--Region 9). The bird crossed in front of our east view just below eye level approximately 15 meters from the watch platform, where the diagnostic head and bold wing pattern could be seen with ease. RWHO seems to be an occasional visitor to our hawkwatch in fall (typically September).
