Three Gray Jays on Nov 26th were present on a polygons now declared by =
DNR to be =E2=80=9Cpartially harvested=E2=80=9D and the majority to be =
=E2=80=9Cclearcut=E2=80=9D about a km north of Lake Paul, Kings Co. =
(They are posted on DNR map viewer.) Nearly everything is clearcut out =
that way already, and this after recovering from earlier forest fires =
lit by our forefathers for one reason or another, including accidental. =
The stands now support a moss-covered floor under a closed canopy in =
many places and a rich assortment of arboreal lichens on young red maple =
and sugar maple trunks. =20

Also, two Gray Jays are still at my mother=E2=80=99s house on Mack Lake, =
East Dalhousie. Last year, a bobcat stole the deer fat I had nailed to =
a tree for them. That=E2=80=99s okay...

I am checking the burn sites from last summer near Keji for Three-toed =
woodpeckers. There are post-burn wood-boring insects at the bases of =
balsam fir trees. Species anyone? I=E2=80=99ve seen Blackbacks after =
such insects on a post-burn site in late fall after a fire in =
Kouchibouguac, NB. They would fly to each tree base and flake off the =
bark to expose the large, =E2=80=98full meal-sized=E2=80=99 larvae I =
don=E2=80=99t know what insect drills the bases of the burned balsam =
firs, but it is a =E2=80=9Cpost-fire=E2=80=9D species, no doubt. Can =
anyone help me out? I=E2=80=99ll got out this week and see if I can =
collect some of the larvae if they are still present. The bore holes =
are quite large.
