Charlie, Calvert Cliffs is indeed one of the two traditional spots for Red-headed Woodpecker in Southern Maryland. The other is Pt Lookout St Pk. I have not been to Calvert Cliffs since this spring, but RHWO was present during the MOS convention. I have not enjoyed the good success rate of others visiting the location. It's certainly not guaranteed. The best spot is the swampy area along the Red Trail. Walk out the little boardwalk and carefully scan all the dead snags. I've also seen them along the White Trail, so keep your eyes and ears open the whole time... As for Pt Lookout, I have not seen RHWO since last year. Maybe someone else has had better luck. They used to be gimme birds. <sigh> To get to the best location, walk behind the museum to the "T" and turn left. Look for the birds on either side of the trail in all the dead snags. My most recent sighting of RHWO is not from Southern Maryland, but from Turkey Point in Cecil last month. RHWO can be seen from the hawk watch location... -Greg Miller Hollywood, MD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
