Red-headed Woodpecker - Riverside Park
photo by Lysiane Ribeiro - 2/9/07

Regular contributor Lysiane Ribeiro sent in a recent photo of the Red-headed Woodpecker in Riverside Park. As you can see, the head is getting redder and redder. Also a report of 4, count 'em, four woodcocks in the Oven in Central Park . On Sunday 2/11/07 she wrote:

I have been at the Oven every day for the past three to four days and it seems like each day I see more Woodcocks. There are now four in the Oven. They were not close enough to each other for me to get a picture with all four of them together. The photo I am sending you is from two photos I took one right after the other. Amazingly cool! Who knows, maybe by tomorrow there will be ten! :)
