John,

I figured that the fifth recording might be a squirrel, no clue about
the first. It occurred to me as I was reading your post that I should
check the Gros Morne National Park web site. If it is a squirrel,
which seems probable, it should be a Red Squirrel, apparently
introduced from the mainland in the 1960s.

Recording 4 should be a Downy, Hairy, Three-toed or Black-backed
Woodpecker or a Northern Flicker, the Downy being common, and the
others uncommon, in the area. I'll have to look these up.

Thanks very much. I have the feeling that this is one of those
passtimes that could become addictive.

Rory
