Hi  all yesterday  Wed April 7, 04 after work i Deciced To make a quick
Check on Wye Island. Just before crossing the bridge  there was a dead robin
in the road struck by a car . 3  TV  2 crows  were trying to feed  from this
  smashed road kill a slim picking for all those hungry brids it made for
quite a sight. At the picnic  area   the Red Headed Woodpecker was there
first found in early Nov 2003  as an immature  is now a full adult.  i have
seen this bird every month since  at least one time and sometimes more .
The bird was quickly located near a hole  in a dead tree   but showed no
signs of breeding   and they are not in safe dates yet to even count as a
possible .  But will be keeping a check on it.  other birds seen on this
outting  2 Blue winged Teal  males, several scaup species ,  About 12 Green
winged Teal , 8   Osprey      2 of which built a nest  on a  powerline pole
cross arm .    Looks   like a  first   time breeding   try for this pair  as
the nest is a messy looking    shabby  affiar  looks like  it could come
crashing down any minute.    Happy Birding     Danny Poet    Queenstown  Md
