During a quick stop this afternoon I spotted and photographed a red bellied woodpecker in the north eastern portion of Thickson's Woods. It spent a lengthy period of time around the log pile and was in the company of chickadees, red breasted nuthatches, and a pair of downy woodpeckers. The great horned owl was also spotted and heard making many calls during the brief visit.
To reach Thickson's Woods, travel east of the GTA to the Thickson Rd. exit located in Whitby, Ontario. Proceed south beyond Wentworth Street and you will see the entrance to the woods on the left or eastern side of the street. Parking is available on Thickson Rd. as well as south of the woods where a circular park is located nearby the Waterfront Trail.
