All;
A certainly rare in any season, (Arctic) Three-toed Woodpecker was
located, and watched leisuredly, as it worked hard to find food on the trunk
of one ³ripe² tree by young Chris Suhka, of Field, along with your reporter
and Fred Pinto, on Saturday aft. It will probably be around that vicinity
for awhile yet. It was a female.
It was within a small, but dense forest of 30-year old White Spruce and
Balsam Fir just west of the little town of Field, off a now snowmobile trail
on the way to Muskesung Lake. Field is about 20 miles north of Sturgeon
Falls, which is in turn some 30 miles due west of North Bay. North Bay is 4
stop-lights north of Toronto. Toronto is --?
