Hi All, After my posting at the end of January about woodpeckers working on hemlocks on Healey Lake Rd. I had 3 e-mails from others who went out to look as well. All three saw at least one black-backed woodpecker. One couple found two. Yesterday I tried again after a snowfall and found three trees that had been worked on. (There were bark chips on top of the fresh snow.) I found one male at km 14.2 Take Muskoka Rd 11/Mactier Rd. from Hwy 169/400Extension and drive to Healey Lake Rd. Zero your trip meter and drive out about 9 km. You will begin to see hemlocks that have woodpecker evidence. I found three locations that had bark chips on top of the snow but just the one bird.
