Bon mercredi de Montréal, Québec! Happy Wednesday from Montreal, Quebec!
Last Wednesday, I was astonished to see the following scene in Montreal and in the backyard!
For those that regularly visited my blog during my days in Montana, I have created a group called Moose Monday on ActiveRain where photos of moose were featured and shared on Mondays. I have actually made a few Moose Monday posts from Montreal. Now, with the latest sighting, how about a group called Woodpecker Wednesday? Just kidding, Wordless Wednesday is sufficient enough! But it does sound fun and it would be interesting to see and know where else in North America these wacky and wonderful red-headed woodpeckers make appearances especially on Wednesdays, doesn't it? :-)
As I watched these two woodpeckers last Wednesday, I could not help but imagine the sound that Woody Woodpecker (see the link to his website at the bottom of this post to hear the actual sound) made as an animated cartoon I watched on TV when I was young.
One would not expect a woodpecker sighting in Montreal let alone two woodpeckers in action on a tree (they were at it for at least 15 minutes before they flew away, plenty of time for this photographer to capture some amazing pictures). I have heard the sound of a woodpecker in the morning in Red Lodge, Montana but I have not actually seen one. Luck had it such that I saw two of them (it gives seeing red a whole new meaning, lol) up close in a backyard in Montreal.
Here is another photo (out of the many photos I took) of the woodpeckers to leave you with. Want to see more woodpeckers on Wednesdays? :-)
