[cobirds] Lewis's Woodpeckers - Mesa County

[Mike Henwood]

Yesterday a group of us birded Escalante Canyon.  In the area known as
Escalante Forks in the upper end of the canyon, we observed 12 Lewis's
Woodpeckers in narrow leaf cottonwood riparian areas along the North Fork
of Escalante Creek and the main fork of Escalante Canyon, a relatively
small area (less than a mile).

We also saw one Lewis's Woodpecker lower down in the canyon (total of 13
for the day),  as well as a flock of 9 Chukars and 16 Desert Bighorn Sheep.
