Dear Ontbirders,
Starting this spring and continuing for the next 3 years, I will be
studying Red-headed Woodpeckers in the Northumberland and Peterborough
counties of central Ontario. And I can use all the help I can get to
locate these beautiful and swiftly declining birds. If you have any
sightings this year or know of areas with past sightings or are a
landowner/know a landowner with appropriate habitat (old woodlots,
fencerows, etc.) I would love to hear from you!
This study is part of my Ph.D. research and the findings will be
shared directly with Nature Conservancy Canada and the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources to push for conservation and recovery
actions for this species in Ontario.
Help me discover why this birds is disappearing from Ontario and
across its entire range!
If you have any sightings, landowner contacts or questions please
contact me at: [email protected]
I look forward to hearing from you! Happy Birding.
Cheers,
Barbara Frei, M.Sc.
