Yesterday my husband & I watched a pair of American 3-toed
woodpeckers hammering & feeding, one above the other, from about 10 feet away
near upper end of the Jean Lunning Trail above Brainard Lake. We had a clear view of the male's golden patch & of the 3 forward toes splayed
against the dead conifer trunk. We also heard several pine grosbeaks & watched one brilliant male feeding amidst the asters.
