Doug Ghrist and I enjoyed the bird walk yesterday at LLELA. Thanks, Keith Lockhart and Sue Yost. After the walk, Doug, John Kirk and I had a female Ladder-backed Woodpecker on the Bittern Marsh Trail. Doug got some nice pictures. It seemed like an unusually damp location for this species, which I didn't realize got this far east. However, I found that the TOS Handbook lists Denton county as being on the eastern extent of its range. Perhaps we will see them in Tyler in a few years.
