No owls but a beautiful Pileated Woodpecker and three photogenic deer!

Published by Drew Monkman on

My friend Carl and I were out today (Dec. 26) in search of a Barred Owl but had no luck. However, we did see a Pileated Woodpecker and some White-tailed Deer. We saw the woodpecker on Sumac Island Rd. off of Stoney Lake Rd. and the deer were just south of County Road 40 on Stoney Lake Rd.
