It is located at the end of Ferry Landing Road off of Route 4. Lots of yellow-rumps, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, juncos and White-throated Sparrows and common resident birds but the highlight of the morning was getting all 7 possible woodpecker species: Hairy, Downy, Red-bellied, Northern Flicker, Pileated, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and three RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS (one adult and two juveniles). I've never seen so many Red-headed Woodpeckers in about a 15 mile radius from my house as I have this year!
