It&#8217;s been a few years since I&#8217;ve had this species in the county (others have had it), so for me it was good to see one. The bird was working some dead trees on the far side of the pond, so photos were difficult but I was able to at least document it. The only other noteworthy birds this morning was a quartet of distant Red-breasted Mergansers which I viewed on the Hudson River from Donahue Memorial Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO.jpg 1930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Red-headed Woodpecker at Brown&#8217;s Pond, 03\/02\/24.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/030224-RHWO-3-1200x750.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~RHWO in flight at Brown&#8217;s Pond, 03\/02\/24.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mostly uneventful, rainy morning was saved when I found a single RED-HEADED WOODPECKER at the south end of Brown&#8217;s Pond.
