Recently Lochaber had a rare visitor.
A red-bellied woodpecker was spotted visiting bird feeders on both sides of the lake.
The red-bellied woodpecker is common in the eastern United States, but Nova Scotia is far out of its range.

Here are a few photos of the red-bellied woodpecker visiting a Lochaber bird feeder on December 11, 2011.

Hi there..we have had this beautiful woodpecker at out feeders as well. I am on an Island on the very southwestern tip of Nova Scotia called Long Island…They are a beautiful bird indeed!
We have had a red bellied woodpecker at our feeders here in Parrsboro for the past few weeks. First appearred with a female (we think) in late November, 2011; only the male now (early January) , but here nearly every day. Beautiful bird.
January 15 2012 A male red-bellied wooodpecker was at our bird feeder this morning in Conquerall Bank (just outside of Bridgewater). First one I’ve ever seen.
We’ve had a male red-bellied woodpecker at our feeders on the west side of Lochaber Lake since shortly before Christmas. It’s been here pretty much every day since then. It fends off the starlings and jays without hesitation. What a treat!
