Went to Forest Park this morning. The highlight was finding my second red-headed woodpecker of the week (refound the Kissena Park one yesterday). It was located on the blue trail which is a pebbly trail near the park entrance with the stand of pine trees, just off park lane south. The bird was calling and chipping away just 5-10 yards north of the pine trees along the pebbly path. Also found a fair amount of migrants, yellow-rumped, pine, & palm warblers (yellow-rumps being most numerous). Blue-gray Gnatcatchers were numerous too. The water hole was quiet early but seemed to pick up activity just as I left around 8:30 AM.
