Over in GWC, Orrin reported RED HEADED WOODPECKER ,the 2nd bird at Snowdrop path which is connected to the Zephyr Path on the south side of Cypress/Grape Ave.Later the same bird was seen in an oak along Cypress between Heliotrope and Euonymous Path, an almost brilliant looking bird.
The all winter RED HEADED WP at plot 109 (Battle Ave) was very cooperative,sticking close to the dead sycamore tree,staying perched for a long time.
Also in GWC,several colorful PINE WARBLERS and some PALM WARBLERS from Dellwater to the new crpyt north of the Crescent water.
More detail later if reports received.

about 75 minutes at GWC this morning. The first RHWP is the Arbor Ave guy, in the Silliman sycamore. The other one (two shots, the second so you can see how red he is), obviously mature, was on Snowdrop Path, or maybe Zephyr path; it's not entirely clear where one begins and he other ends. The evergreen he was in is right behind the Jim Headley headstone.
Here is today's list:
Red-headed woodpecker (2)
