The Red-headed Woodpecker at Turtle Cove, originally found by Richard Aracil, is still in the area, past the metal bridge, on the wood chip bath behind the golf driving range. The area remains birdy, with White-throated, Swamp, Savannah Sparrows and a lone Junco. Other notable species include a few Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, Northern Waterthrush, a few Common Yellowthroats and an Ovenbird. This area was recently cleared of invasive species and a wood chip path was installed. Although a relatively short path, this area looks promising for birders. Jack Rothman cityislandbirds.com --
