I took this picture outside my tent when I was camping in Ucluelet, a small fishing town located on the west side of Vancouver Island and next to the Pacific Rim National Park.  The campground was next to the harbor and the eagles had a nest in a tree overlooking the campground and the harbor.

The largest of the woodpeckers in Canada, I spotted this bird among the burnt wood from a prescribed burn in Banff National Park (Sawback burn in 1993).  The woodpecker managed to chisel off the charred wood to expose an ant nest underneath and had a good meal of ant larvae.
