News: Woodpeckers, Nuthatches & Chickadees
sami:
Piliated woodpeckers are not exactly welcome sights to a few of us. A pair have done serious damage to the spire of our church (2x6s ripped down to 3/4"). As fast as holes weere replaced, they ripped through them, and even got inside and caused more damage.
We are looking at an estimated repair cost of $26,000. Not our favourite birds at the moment!

Ran from Winnipeg Beach to Gimli today and saw the following along the highway (#9):
1 lone snow goose flying low and honking furiously
1 bald eagle
2 blue jays, these are the first I have seen out there this year
There were noticeably more birds songs than 2 weeks ago when I ran out there so spring is certainly in the air.
We usually see flickers out there at this time of year but none yet
Anyone wanting to see piliated woodpeckers, there has been 1 (maybe 2) hanging around the horse stables at Birds Hill Park all winter. My daughter and I were lucky to see one a couple of times this winter when we were out cross country skiing.
