Hairy Woodpecker

Hairy Woodpecker Picoides villosus
Three Bridges Road, St. Jacobs, ON
29 April 2013

    This male Hairy Woodpecker was observed along Three Bridges Road, one of our regular birding locations, at around 18:30. In this same location we have previously seen both Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and Northern Flicker. We hope in the future to spot Pileated Woodpecker and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker to round out the full range of possibilities (other than vagrant rarities) in the area.
