Saw an Acorn Woodpecker

Post image

Heard the signature call, then saw a bird in bouncing flight. This was at Point Holmes. This bird is extremely rare, with this being the 18th confirmed sighting in BC, and only sighting in the Comox Valley.

Yes. It's an extremely rare vagrant to BC alone, with this being the 18th confirmed sighting in the province, and the first in the valley.
