Thanks to Shawn Conrad I scored a lifer this morning; black-backed woodpecker (female)! Shawn found this bird foraging up in dead/dying spruce amongst the mature spruce windrows here at the Grand Rapids MN DNR headquarters. A question came up about the uniqueness of observing black-backed woodpeckers within residential/commercial settings (i.e., in town) as it seems most observations from MN of this species take place out in the wilds. Any thoughts?
