Hi all,
I found a Black-backed Woodpecker this morning at the entrance of the
Maxville Sewage Lagoons. The many white feathers around the lagoon ponds
indicate that Snow Geese have recently rested there. Those looking for Snow
Geese might also want to check these lagoons just before dusk.

DIRECTIONS to Maxville SL:
On Hwy 417 east of Casselman take exit 51 and turn south towards Maxville.
Go about 2 km, then turn right on Athol Rd. Go about 1 km and turn left
(south) on a dirt road just before house 18102. Drive to entrance of lagoons
at the end of the road. The woodpecker was seen briefly at the top of the
tallest White Elm on the west side (right) where it foraged for about a
minute then flew into the woodlot on the east side (left) of the dirt road.
Happy Holidays,
Jacques Bouvier
