Ladder-backed Woodpecker and other birds foraging in Williamsburg near Canon City

[SeEttaM .]

This morning I ventured a ways outside of Canon City to the small town of Wiliamsburg that is only about 5 miles southwest of Canon.  I found a male Ladder-backed Woodpecker drilling a very cold tree cholla cactus.  Also in Williamsburg area was a Northern Shrike as well as a flock of Mountain Bluebirds and a Northern Flicker feeding on juniper berries that had to have been flash-froze in the 50 degree temperature drop overnight Monday.  I have uploaded photos of the Ladder-backed Woodpecker and the Shrikes to my Birds and Nature blog.
