While Pilieated Woodpeckers breed on Long Island they are very rare on Brier and this are the first photographs of the species taken on the island.

Good for you! I remember seeing one there near the road to Richard's camp, and learning that it was not a common sight on the island. Always a treat! Enjoy the spring!
