[Maine-birds] Black-backed Woodpecker

I finally had a chance to walk part of the new Penobscot River Trails in Grindstone this morning. Friends had told me they believed Black-backed Woodpeckers might be present. I walked four miles out, and four miles back, only to hear one calling just behind the headquarters building where I had started from. She flew right past me and landed in a convenient tree for a photo op.

 

So, yes, they are present. Or this one was wandering. (They do that in late autumn.)
