The Hairy Woodpecker  feed on the bases of trees, along fallen logs and sometimes even on the ground.

This breed of Woodpecker can be found across the continent in woodlots suburbs parks, cemeteries open woodlands etc.

Meduxnekeag Purple Trail/ Van Dine Falls

The Meduxnekeag Purple walking trail is on of several on the Meduxnekeag Valley Nature Preserve.  This trail has much to offer such as Bird watching, Water Falls, several animals can be spotted inside the nature preserve. 

The purple trail features many plank bridges, rock walls, wooden steps and ropes for help on steep hills. 

The trail offers several smaller waterfalls one that appears like a large bowl caution should be taken as this is very slippery speaking from experience as my daughter slip in trying to wash her rubber boots.

THE BOWL 

Van Dine Falls

Several mushrooms and little critters could also be spotted.

Ayers Lake Look Out

The trail leading to the look out is somewhat rocky but still pretty easy walking, however i would not recommend taken a smaller car the last KM or so a truck or SUV I would highly recommend. On top of the hill is a  cedar fence keeping people from getting too close to the edge of the drop-off. There is also a cement picnic table at the lookout so people can sit and enjoy the view,on the picnic table you  can usually find a guest book in a container make sure you add your name to the list of visitors.

Osprey and Crane

While sitting at the river bank in Woodstock NB we notice this young osprey flying over head and occasional land in the tree next to us.

Just as I was ready to leave I notice which I believe is a Stork flying right over my head unfortunately

 the way I was sitting and on how fast it took place I only manage to capture this bird as a silhouette 

As I was leaving I also notice this little guy not sure what kind of bird he is but didnèt want to leave him out....lol
