[mou] Three-toed Woodpecker in Duluth

[Kim R Eckert]

A male Three-toed Woodpecker was a most unexpected surprise this  
afternoon, May 8, in our back yard on the 1900 block of W Kent Rd in  
Duluth. For at least a half hour, from 4:30 to 5:00, it was working on  
two mostly dead spruce trees before flying off and out of sight. What  
makes this sighting especially unexpected, aside from the time of  
year, is that this location is in a solidly residential area in the  
middle of town, with not that many coniferous trees in the yards in  
this neighborhood.  Kim Eckert
