**Mac Wilmot and his neighbour Sandra Doyle in Lower Coverdale are now sharing regular visits from a male Red-bellied Woodpecker to their birdfeeder yards. This uncommon species of woodpecker can become quite regular at a chosen feeder yard for the winter when it arrives to it at this time of year.

 

**Shannon Inman got a photograph of very mature Ghost Pipe plants. (Editor’s note: I don’t recall ever seeing mature Ghost Pipe with a reddish head. Gart Bishop confirmed it as indeed Ghost Pipe as Shannon had already suspected).

 

**Some Black-bellied Plovers continued to be with us later in the season as can be expected.

Aldo Dorio was able to photograph 3 Black-bellied Plovers near the Neguac wharf on Saturday.

 

**The warmish fall weather we are enjoying has some insects doing the same.

Lisa Morris photographed a Flower Fly a.k.a. Hover Fly a.k.a. Syrphid fly nectaring on a late blooming dandelion on Saturday.
