Both an adult and a nearby, calling juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker were seen at Muscoot Farm, Westchester County, this morning at the very end of Saw Mill River Audubon's regular 1st Monday bird walk.
Uncertain is whether another pair reported this year in southern part of county were also confirmed breeding? Or perhaps this is (one of) the first confirmed county breeding record(s) for some time? The birds seemed to be most present along the strip of woods between the main parking lot and Route 100.
