Alan, pileated woodpeckers are quite common around here, so I'd hazard a guess that there's even more up in the Muskoka's.

I haven't seen a Scarlet Tanager for years but I've had a few Baltimore Orioles around here each year. On my biking trail off of the Etobicoke creek I've seen them pulling apart tent caterpiller nests, not for the caterpillers but for their own nesting material.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
