Hi Ontbirders, A female Black-backed Woodpecker was foraging along a trail beside the Eardley-Masham Road west of Ottawa. It was seen around 10h.30 yesterday (Thursday) morning.
Directions: Take Hwy 148 west of Gatineau (Aylmer) for approximately 40 km. to the Eardley-Masham Road running north into Gatineau Park. Follow this road for 5.9 km. to the NCC Trail (#56) parking lot. The Black-backed Woodpecker was found about 150 m. along the trail, foraging on both sides. Along the Eardley-Masham Road were also seen 3 Northern Shrikes & one 2nd-year Bald Eagle. Cheers, Roger Clark Ottawa _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
