It was a wonderful morning for birding at Bowie Nature Park in Fairview, with a 
total of five birders who saw/heard 43 species. The Red-headed Woodpeckers 
stole the show today, for we observed eleven, stunning individuals throughout 
the park. A special surprise was a Willow Flycatcher flycatching in the willow 
trees near the pond. We enjoyed watching Pine Warblers forage for insects to 
give to their young, and we got decent looks at a Yellow-throated Warbler in a 
Sweet Gum. A pair of Hairy Woodpeckers was also a nice treat. Thank you to all 
who participated in today's walk. A complete checklist can be found below.
