This morning there was a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker at Pennyfield, about one-quarter mile above the lock, in one of a pair of tall dead trees across the canal from the towpath. (Also there and in the neighborhood: a family of Red-bellieds, Flicker, Downy, Pileateds.)
Water in the impoundment is very low. It held at least 3 Solitary Sandpipers and more than a dozen peeps--Semipalmated Sandpipers?
