Title: Red Headed Wood pecker & Titmouse
Post by: Napper on December 26, 2007, 05:27:59 PM

Was a beautiful day today along the shores of lake Erie

I visited two locations today

Gravelly Bay in Port Colborne was teeming with water fowl. Hundreds of Tundra Swans along with Geese and a large amount of assorted ducks that included
Buffleheads & Ring necks and hundreds of Ring bill gulls

I moved  East to a small park Along the shore of lake Erie, Centennial Park.. It is heavily wooded  with large oaks and maples.. I immediately spot  A Redheaded wood pecker then there were two. I followed the sounds of some birds near a summer cottage and found White breasted nuthatches, Junkos and a   Tufted Titmouse:!: Chickadee's as well.. I probable spent and hour there waiting for another glimpse of the Titmouse.. I watched the Redheaded woodpeckers for the most part.

I was scolded at by a tiny little wren as I was leaving to go back to my vehicle

Haven't quite thought  about it yet

I am a raptor nut and I have nay spotted a Merlin..Maybe.. ?

I dunno

Tell you what, spotting a Red headed woodpecker and a titmouse within a 100 feet of each other really made my day and maybe more than that..


Both were life list items for me:))

Happy new Year
