I had a call from a Tom Stevenson of Huron who saw a black backed woodpecker at Sheldon Marsh is Erie County yesterday. He is new to the area but he knew what he was talking about. He said he saw it on the main road to the lake, between the two observation decks. If you are in the area, you might want to check it out.....................hopefully our rains up here end soon! Though they have been in Ohio before, this is a rare visitor indeed. Mary L. Warren Wildlife Communications Specialist Magee Marsh Wildlife Area 13229 W.
