--14dae934097db1ef6104b5f492b8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 hi folks, We had a male RED-BELLIED woodpecker at our suet feeder this afternoon from about 1:15 to 1:45 (28 forest Hill Rd., Kentville, NS) I got some video of this guy and will post a link later today - amazing long tongue! After this, I observed him "squeaking" for half an hour scaling oak and beech trees and a telephone pole across the road. No sign of a female. He held his own against some blue jays (was not flushed by a couple of blue jays that approached him), and also once checked out a cavity on one of the upper branches of an oak. This location is about 500 m S from Richard Stern's observation on 17 December (Miner's Marsh) and about 1100 m W of the male I observed on Melbourne Ave. yesterday 6 Jan . Difficult to tell whether these observations represent 1,2 or 3 individuals - 1100 m falls around the upper end of a winter range size for these guys (based on some reported estimates). Cheers, James. -- James Churchill Kentville, Nova Scotia jameslchurchill@gmail.com home: (902) 681-2374 --14dae934097db1ef6104b5f492b8 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable hi folks, <br><br>We had a male RED-BELLIED woodpecker at our suet feeder t= his afternoon from about 1:15 to 1:45 (28 forest Hill Rd., Kentville, NS)<b= r>I got some video of this guy and will post a link later today - amazing l= ong tongue!<br> <br>After this, I observed him "squeaking" for half an hour scali= ng oak and beech trees and a telephone pole across the road.
