No sooner had I created the post about the red-bellied woodpeckers being missing in action, we located one down at the forest feeders.  It was literally a half hour between pressing “Publish” and re-discovering this long-lost friend.  A group of grade 6 students studying Biodiversity were doing a black-capped chickadee behaviour study and we heard a brief call from the rbwp.  I got out my iPod with Birdjam software to call the bird and attempt to elicit a response (look for a future post on IT in OEE).
