[mou] Black-backed woodpeckers

[Steve Foss]

I saw two black-backed woodpeckers in separate locations
yesterday, both up the Echo Trail outside Ely.

The first was a male stripping bark from a downed red pine
that was among the slash left over after a big logging cut
near Big Lake, right off the Echo.

The second was a male flying through some second-growth
pine 28 miles from Ely, where the Moose Loop intersects the
Echo.
