Seventeen of us visited Cold Springs, Trout Creek Swamp, Indian Ford CG and
Green Ridge with a focus on woodpeckers and passerines in the WP habitats.
The goal was all 11 local woodpeckers and we had 10 of them. But, no one saw
Pileated although we heard them in GW Burn drumming and calling and also
calling up on Green Ridge. White-headed was only seen by a few, at Cold
Springs campground. We searched for Am three-toed in 3 places where birders
have seen them in the past few weeks, including more than an hour in GW burn
where one was seen on Sunday, but we were unable to find one today. A heard
bird by one birder, in Trout Creek Swamp, could possibly have been one but
didn't make the list. So our score was 10/11. Not so bad but seeing a
Pileated would have made many birders happier. Watching Laz Bunting and
Green tailed Towhee helped to ease the pain. Black-backed and Lewis's were
lifers for some birders so all in all, a good day. Finishing with some
social time, with brewskis and burgers at the Sisters Theater was a perfect
end to a nice day in the forest.
