That done by a Pileated woodpecker. You don't see them a lot but you can hear them if one is in the area. They are very colorful. We have them in northern New York.

And the pileated pecker has a very distintive call, as well as being a very large bird. Very cool to see, but do lots of damage once they find their insects!

hi neksledr !!!

 

thx for the info....maybe i heard the '' call '' before...but never paid much  attention ...i ll be more careful next time !!!

just back ...went toward my camp...no luck...made an extra 250' compared with saturday  ...i was very surprised...it was 23 c when i left ...colder on my way back ...rain..

hi quebec bob !!!

 

maybe we should switch atv...wooww...very low mileage ......my 09 had 29 962 km when i bought my 2016 !!! and was still running like brand new !!!

honestly ....about the mileage...last time i checked...dec 2016 ...i was at 5500 km if memory still good...on the '' dash ''....odometer....i  can switch to clock ...mileage or which gear im on ....

numbers are very small to see mileage...so , i kept it to see which gear im on ....i guess i must be over 10 000 by now...my 09 was better....bigger numbers..

should put my new tires this week ....i rather have used ...worn tires to ride on snow....new tires easier to sink or dig in the drifts...and at this time of the year , i ride large roads...they melt faster...

i ll slow down the rides....boss came to visit yesterday...time to get in shape ....should start  working soon !!!

and btw...when i bought my new tires...they told me that my old 450 foreman was still running ..ahaha..it was a 98 .....22 460 km back then !!!

and yes ...lucky to ride that much mileage...no need to trailer ....vrooooooommm right from my house !!!
