This afternoon I was happy to see a Pileated Woodpecker female at our feeder tree just outside the window. These regular visitors had not appeared since all the disruption started along Dodge Rd for the Solar Farm. (I think they used to nest somewhere in the woods to the East of Dodge Rd.)
I'm hoping my CBC count along Dodge Rd will not be meager because of the disturbance and loss of habitat! Nari Mistry, Ellis Hollow Rd -- _______________________ Nari B.
