Who made these holes?
These holes in several trees left me puzzled. They just didn't look like anything I had noticed before. Presumably they were made by some kind of Woodpecker, but I've no idea which kind. I know that the Three-toed Woodpecker "forages on live or dead conifers, especially spruces. Often scales off flakes of bark to get at insects, and may gradually remove all bark from a dead tree", from the Audubon website. We often see such stripped trees, looking very orange where all the bark has been removed, but the trees this morning were different.
This evening, I decided to edit and post seven photos from today, 1 January 2019. I only took a few photos and they are really just record shots, so I thought I would get them out of the way - I need to get back to editing photos from Day 8 of our two-week trip to Ontario and Quebec in May 2018!
This morning, New Year's Day 2019, I joined friends to go on the annual Fish Creel Park New Year's Day Bird Count. The road and parking lot to the area that my group covers is closed for construction. This meant having to park elsewhere and then walk down the hillside from the top of the cliff.
The weather was beautiful, with blue sky and sunshine. We are all really enjoying this mid-winter weather, much deserved after several brutal winter, especially last winter. Unfortunately, there was ice everywhere, under a thin layer of more recent snow.
Our walk went from 9:00 am till about noon. After that, many of us drove to Tim Horton's for coffee/lunch and thoroughly enjoyed being able to sit down and chat. Such good company for these few hours.
