Hi Linda: Things have finally slowed down a bit after 28 days of birding in May. Am in recovery mode and trying to catch up on all thinks neglected including emails. Sounds like a great Birding Club trip. Are you still seeing the Red-headed Woodpecker and have you found a nesting location at the resort? Ron Erpelding

The trip was lead by Steve Midthune and Nancy Henke, club members. The field trip covered the resort grounds and Rainbow Trail system, mid morning to early afternoon. The highlight was for the group to see the red-headed woodpecker which was sighted on resort grounds (I have seen it everyday for 1 1/2 weeks), so glad the group could also see it. The olive-sided flycatcher was also seen on the grounds. The warblers and many of the other birds were seen on the trail system. We invite other groups to come out see some of these beautiful birds.
