Hi All=2C

   Yesterday while checking out a patch of dead spruce trees near my house =
for spruce bark beetle I heard and caught a quick glimpse of what I thought=
 might be a Black-backed Woodpecker. Because it was near dusk I decided to =
return today to try and confirm the sighting.=20

   Today I returned and was successful in relocating the bird and even gett=
ing a few seconds of confirming video.

    I believe there was another Black-backed Woodpecker reported=2C in a si=
milar habit near here (Beulach Ban Falls?) recently.

    Spruce Bark Beetle damage is sporadic here and I wonder if two birds ca=
n be found here=2C might they not be even more common over the more infeste=
d areas of the province? All the best.
