Hi Everyone
The adult Red-headed Woodpecker was present again today at my parents
house at Constance Bay. The bird has become more regular at the feeders
since Christmas Day.
This morning I had another GGO, this time it flew over Donald B. Munro
Drive near March Road. It was still present at 11:00am just west of the
intersection between the railroad tracks and the bridge. It was perched on
top of a spruce tree.
good
