A good run of Red-headed Woodpeckers continues at Brooklyns Owls Head Park, with at least three seen today. Thats after two September sightings, with an adult on the 11th and a juvenile on the 15th (as well as one spring bird.) Three juveniles were seen at one time, flying back and forth between the overlook terrace grove and the tree line on the north side of the hill, as well as single birds before and after, which are conservatively assumed to represent the same individuals
Also of note: at least two Common Ravens in the area; over 100 Double-crested Cormorants migrating; White-crowned Sparrow; Red-breasted Nuthatch; and a full array of Pine Warbler plumages, from bright adult male to drab brown first fall female and various increments in between.
