Evidently a 3 Toed Woodpecker has been hanging around the tip area of Point Pelee for the last 2 days, although no one has posted it. This morning at approximately 10:40 a.m. I re-found the bird along the main road to the Tip a couple hundred metres south of the mid-point train drop off stop on the west side of the road near a large Oak tree with a yellow plastic square on the tree with the number 4-01 written on the plastic square. The Woodpecker was first heard in the large oaks closer to the West Beach but then flew right up into a small diameter Hackberry beside the road and the big Oak tree. It stayed for at least 2 minutes, giving me a good look at all the field marks before flying north-west back towards the Beach.
Other species of note were Palm, Nashville and Black & White Warbler.
