An excellent place for woodpeckers, I guess. Two years ago this week, I saw a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker within 100 yards of this sighting. We also had at least two Red-naped here this weekend, and another upstream.
But to back up, Deb and I went camping fri and sat for my birthday, on the jeep road that dead-ends into the South Ben Tyler trailhead, Lost Creek Wilderness, Pike Nat'l Forest, Park County. In camp Saturday late morning, we had a Three-toed Woodpecker for almost a half hour, giving us great looks right from our site. Certainly the highlight of a somewhat quiet weekend of birding. We hung around this morning before packing out, hoping it would revisit us, but did not see it again. Also seen were: Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Brewer's Sparrows, Gray Jays, Steller's Jays, Say's Phoebes, Mexican Chickadees and Gray-headed Juncos.
