It’s been a while since I felt I had good local birds I wanted to share, but that all changed yesterday.
While birding with a group at the MDI High School retention ponds, we heard the gentle tapping of a three-toed woodpecker. We quickly zeroed in on it and had good views through the scope of a female Black-backed Woodpecker working a dead spruce.
Later, while scanning the edges of the ponds for possible shorebirds, we found a lone Long-billed Dowitcher. Another nice find, as well as my first for that locale.
