Evidently a 3 Toed Woodpecker has been hanging around the tip area of Point
Pelee for the last 2 days, although no one has posted it. This morning at
approximately 10:40 a.m. I re-found the bird along the main road to the Tip
a couple hundred metres south of the mid-point train drop off stop on the
west side of the road near a large Oak tree with a yellow plastic square on
the tree with the number 4-01 written on the plastic square. The Woodpecker
was first heard in the large oaks closer to the West Beach but then flew
right up into a small diameter Hackberry beside the road and the big Oak
tree. It stayed for at least 2 minutes, giving me a good look at all the
field marks before flying north-west back towards the Beach.
Other species of note were Palm, Nashville and Black & White Warbler.
