After finding Dave Lauten and Kathy Castelein on the PCT north of
Santiam Pass, we saw at least 25 Pine Grosbeak, quite flighty and
unsettled. We tracked a female Black-backed Woodpecker with two other
woodpeckers tapping in the distance. Then two females were in the same
tree, seemingly sparring with each other, darting around the trunk, one
raising its wings several times, then a short in-flight tangle and they
both went off. We never saw a male.
We found a female American Three-toed Woodpecker on the PCT near Big
Lake, about 100 yards south of where the trail crosses the Old Santiam
Wagon Road, Forest Service 811 or 810, depending on the map.
