RARE WOODPECKER ALERT—Sixty people were on hand for a viewing of this Lewis’s Woodpecker at the Kagawong home of Bob and Phyllis Cacciotti. The encounter was arranged by the Ontario Field Ornitholigists this past Saturday. Sightings of this type of woodpecker are very rare in Northern Ontario and Canada, especially in the winter. photos by Terry Land, left, and Aaron Hywarren, right.
