Red Bellied Woodpecker at Governor Bridge Natural Area

Another perfect day! I had arranged to meet my friend Graeme at 7:00, and I got there about 6:30 for a quick look around. We roamed the canoe area for awhile, then circled the lake, which continues to disappoint.
We found a Bed Belly feeding on berried, then took one more look around the canoe launch before calling it a day around 10:00.

Acadian Flycatcher

We found this Acadian Flycatcher deep in the woods, so I left him dark to show the environment.
