We were at home in the afternoon when an RBA came in from Jon Ruddy that he had a male Red-bellied Woodpecker on Chemin Houle near the COO bird feeder in Aylmer. Off we went
We parked near the bird feeder and staked it out for 20 minutes without result. Barbara went down the bike path while Bill stayed put. Then Jon came along and we discussed the bird and other birding issues. Suddenly, he spotted the Red-bellied flying across and landing fairly high up in a nearby tree.
Barbara hurried to join us and just got a glimpse before it took off. We waited for quite some time, but we did not see it again. We made a plan to return when the sun shines, so we might obtain better photos. Meanwhile, we checked out the excellent feeder. Note that COO has another identical feeder at the foot of Vanier Road close by.
