On Saturday in Young Gulch, Poudre Canyon, two of us observed two red-headed woodpeckers chasing each other in some kind of courtship display. Occasionally they would land in a tall dead ponderosa. This was about noon, between 2.8 and 3 miles from the parking lot. They were also harassing two Lewis’ woodpeckers in the same area. This was viewed on the east side of the trail/creek in a former burned area. That same day there were at least 8-10 Lazuli buntings and even more Western tanagers.
Last year, 2020, at about the same time frame, the red-headed woodpeckers were observed in a tree hole presumably nesting, in exactly the same area.
