On Saturday July 17, 2004 I saw at least two adult Red-headed Woodpeckers at the junction of Shaw Road and North Pakenham Concession 12. This is between Arnprior and Pakenham, and just inside the 50-km Ottawa checklist circle (by just over a quarter kilometre). A resident there said they have been there a least three years, perhaps longer, since they have only been there 3 years too. These birds are becoming increasingly rare in our area. Directions from Birding Ottawa: Shaw Road and North Pakenham Concession 12 <http://members.rogers.com/mississippi15.htm>. From Ottawa take Highway 417 (The Queensway) northwest to Highway 17, then 17 northwest to the Galetta Side Road. Turn left or southwest onto it and drive 2.8 km to where it becomes Highway 15 (Lanark 29). Then continue southwest for another 1.1 km to leave Highway 15, but continue straight southwest onto Shaw Road or Lanark 22. Continue 1.3 km further on it to the junction of Shaw Road and North Pakenham Concession 12. * Note: Because this was sent from an account where I was not subscribed to OntBirds, it was returned.
