An amazing story of 3 years of migration of a single bird.

Fun Fact: A woodpecker’s tongue is so long that it wraps around its skull to protect its brain while it is hammering away at a tree or other hard surfaces. T...his, combined with other factors such as: super strong neck muscles, plates of spongey bone in the skull that act like a football helmet, and a very small amount of cerebrospinal fluid surrounding their brain, all help to stop a woodpecker scrambling its brain while pecking away with a force of over 1000g See more

A Message from the Wild Bird Trust of BC on the Passing of Ernest Ignatius George Slaholt. Sunrise: February 5 1940 - Sunset: November 11 2020 Iggy passed a...way November 11, 2020. He was a Hereditary Chief of Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Please watch this video of Iggy speaking about this area during our 2018 Osprey Festival: https://youtu.be/p_mO6hSeZnQ Maplewood Flats is indebted to Iggy for his frequent gifts of knowledge about these inlet currents, canoe stories, duck tales, and local knowledge. He frequently shared his Tsleil-Waututh stories with us, since 2017, about the land and water of this placelong before the Crown declared Maplewood Flats a wildlife sanctuary. The Board of Directors of the Wild Birds Trust of BC will do right by these gifts of stories and honour his memory by working for the repair and return of these lands and waters to Tsleil-Waututh. We wish that the alienation which the Wild Bird Trust of BC unwittingly caused by creating an exclusive wildlife sanctuary does not continue for future generations. Our caretaking of this place represents a mere fraction of 1% of Coast Salish Peoples’ continued stewardship. The reality is that these precious mudflats for Tsleil-Waututh is where the tide went out, and the dinner was set and were destroyed for short-term industrialization. The Wild Bird Trust of BC’s work here should best be described as humble repair, restoration, and redress for the land settlers destroyed a few decades ago when Iggy was a boy playing on these Flats. We are grateful to Iggy for his kindness and gifts of his time, frequently attending our events in recent years and putting aside these difficult truths and sharing his message of kindness, local knowledge, as well as showing everyone his love of his family and his Tsleil-Waututh People.

Winter is comingand so is the perfect time for spotting some of our year-round winged residents. Three of British Columbia's woodpecker species stay through the winter, and often frequent neighbourhood birdfeeders. Pileated Woodpecker... Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Hint: Woodpeckers aren't very 'pecky', but suet is on their winter favourites list.
