A few visitors to Shell Park this past week.

Male Hooded Warbler

Red-headed Woodpecker (he wouldn't come closer or lower for me)

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (very co-operative)

Northern Parula

Wow, a Red-Headed Woodpecker at Shell Park!

I was very surprised also Cody. I've only seen one before at Roundeau. I don't believe they are at common around here.
