Left home early. Start to sprinkle as I crossed the Thruway overpass into the village of Montezuma.
As I pulled into Muckrace Flats, noted the water was high but had a quick view of two Wood Ducks.
Deep Muck observation deck was a bust. Martens Tract also was barren with the exception of the Tree Swallows and the Eastern Bluebird fighting over the nesting boxes.
After a pit stop at Tschache Pool, drove back to Mays Point. There in the dead wood was the highlight of the day - the return of the Red-headed Woodpecker. It gave me a quick glimpse and then made its way to a tree near the road for a better view.
Went to Armitage Road looking for the Prothonotary Warbler. Did not see it but might have heard it. In the tree cover photographed this bird.
As I made my way to South Spring Pool there was a Juvenile Bald Eagle in a tree along Rt. 89.
Walking into South Spring Pool met up with two birders. These fellows said that they saw a Palm Warbler near the pond. I saw several Yellow Warblers and this Common Yellowthroat.
