We went to a wedding in Toronto, ON, recently, and had several lovely walks in the autumn colours.
One walk was along the Humber River where there were lots of people watching salmon returning to spawn, cheering when the fish got over a weir, and groaning when they slid back down, to try again. . .
I heard a woodpecker on a post-lunch walk in Byrne Creek Ravine Park in SE Burnaby, BC. I soon spotted this Downy Woodpecker circling a dead tree, rapping on it for insects.
CORRECT: iNaturalist hive mind consensus of Hairy Woopecker.
