We have a correction to the last post. The woodpecker is actually a black-backed woodpecker. It is a rather uncommon bird. Our expert, Dr. J., has never seen one! It has three toes, just like the three toed woodpecker. Here are a couple of links for you.

In other news, there were 4 terrorists, I mean tourists on our lake yesterday. They left us a present. 

Tourists, like terrorists, should be sent back to where they came from until they can live in harmony with others.
