Hi everyone:
I received a call this morning from Sarah Cognata, who has been hosting a Red-headed Woodpecker in her Acton yard since October 23rd. She shared this sighting on eBird (http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S25544012) and the MAINE Birds Facebook group (http://tinyurl.com/ocp7zul) but was a little alarmed by early morning visits from birders so she had a few requests for visitors:
It is okay to visit, but as the bird has only been seen in the afternoon please limit searches to 2 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. It is okay to wander up her driveway as the feeder setup is set back from the road but please do not go beyond that area. This is an active farm so be courteous of the work being done and aware that there may be roaming chickens, geese, and especially children.
This is a good Maine bird (especially for York County) and a species known to linger at feeders so I hope everyone will follow these requests and keep it accessible to all.
Good birding,
Doug Hitchcox
