The administrative office of the North Country Library System is on the Black River, and is set on a large plot of land that includes a grove of old, mixed trees as well as an open field and a small wooded clearing. I go out during my lunch most days, and see all sorts of wildlife. This was an incredibly lucky moment: I heard something hit my window, and I ran to the back door to make sure there wasn’t an injured bird on the ground. While I was looking, this woodpecker flew across the property and landed on the tree closest to the door. I was able to quietly prop it open so the latch wouldn’t click, and ran to get my camera. He was still there when I got back, and I had about 30 seconds of an amazing view!
