In Voll's Woods - 9:30 a.m. 
It was snowing a little this morning 
though the sun shone. It was not very 
cold. Watched a female downy woodpecker 
for awhile. Another of the same sex lit 
near it and perched on a limb. It gave 
a chattering note but the other paid no 
attention to it. It tapped very fast. 
When side ways to me I could not see the 
downward stroke of the bill. When about 
half way up on the upward stroke it went 
slower so that it could be seen. When 
back towards me I could see the head go. 
It did not seem to care if it was back 
down but never went head down. It hunted 
in company with other downy a brown 
creeper and two nuthatches.

Lyon's Peninsula - 10:10 a.m. 
After a little it grew warmer and began 
to thaw. Birds called in all directions. 
Heard a downy woodpecker drum several 
times. It was like thr-r-r-r-r, then it 
called a number of times. The sound of 
the drumming did not sound loud but had 
a vibrant carrying power that made it 
possible to be heard a great distance.
