Black-backed Woodpecker observation by Lessa (#515)

Observation on: February 20, 2011 @ 15:00 | Posted on: March 02, 2011 @ 9:41 (diff: 10 days)

These are normally associated with burned-over stands; they like to eat insects in standing dead trees, and their black back helps them blend in with charred bark. I did not get a picture, though someone skiing along came by and snapped one on her cell phone.
