We just received a call from David Mudd to advise that the outdoor education staff found a male Black-backed Woodpecker at 12:20 today at the Duffins Creek Outdoor Ed Centre in Claremont Conservation Area, which is north of Ajax just east of Toronto. Some photos were taken showing solid black back and they saw yellow on the head.
Directions The woodpecker was in red pines near the main classroom portable. You have to park at the main gate which is at the intersection of Concession Road 7 (Not Highway 7) and Westney Road. Note: NO CARS Allowed in during the day and it's about a kilometre walk to the portable, which is surrounded by red pine forest. There are no feeders, so it could be anywhere.
