Hello All,
On Monday of this week, I was kicksledding on Long Lake (HRM Provincial Park).
The ice surface was fantastic,along with the day. Shortly before leaving the
ice at about 5:30pm, I heard frantic tapping in a near by tree. Of course no
binoculars or camera at hand, and with the dimming light it was difficult to
fully appreciate     the highlight of the day.
It was the first time I had ever seen a Black Backed Woodpecker. The woodpecker
was really very busy and took no interest what so ever that I was less than a
meter away.
Also, on that days outing I observed one Immature Bald Eagle and a Mature Bald
Eagle soaring over Withrod Lake, against a beautiful blue sky!
