Good Evening Birders, I have the pleasure to report a male RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER living in the area of Parklawn Blvd. and Beechwood Rd. It has been here for several weeks and has just started calling. I had a female here a few years ago. Lets's just hope.
I also saw my first eastern meadowlark of the year as I was driving on Hwy 48 east of Sutton yesterday. Cheers, Greg Jaski 43 Parklawn Blvd., Beaverton, ON L0K 1A0 Beaverton is about 50 minutes north of Whitby following hwy. 12 or 70 minutes north-east of Toronto following the 404 to Davis Drive east then hwy 48 north to Durham 23.
