"Lakeside" by Photographer Shane Rocheleau

Under the patchy lawns of Lakeside, there lies a pre-colonial "Oughnum", or "good hunting land" in the indigenous Algonquian dialect. In early Spring one year, my family and I watched a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers bore a nest for their clutch at the rotting end of a shorn bow. They did their work several paces from where we sat each afternoon. Eventually, the excavating stopped and the female settled in. We joyfully awaited little chirps. One morning, we found two eggs broken beneath the nest and another unbroken at the center of the yard. In an Orwellian nod to Manifest Destiny, European Starlings had raided the nest and made it their own.
