Saturday 3/30 Pileated Woodpecker excursion

[Claire Moore]

Birding time! Shana and I are going on a short birding excursion to the Woodlands on Saturday morning 3/30 on the hunt for a Pileated Woodpecker (it's a lifer for Shana). 

We're going to meet at George Mitchell Nature Preserve Trailhead at Creekside at 9:20am (address is Dr Ann Snyder Drive, The Woodlands, TX 77375 -- drive to END of the street to the small Trailhead parking lot). Or you can ride with me from my house -- meeting at 8:20am. 

We'll walk a 1.5 mile loop to check the place where a pair of PIWOs has been reported by a friend of a friend... 

Interested? Join me. If not, no worries.

I got info from a friend of a friend about a reliable site for Pileated WPs.  Do you wanna try for them?  

They are at the George Mitchell Creekside Nature Preserve in the Woodlands.  Here is a map of the area:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/30.148877,-95.5633125/30.1524594,-95.5685923/@30.1503039,-95.5678003,920m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e2?entry=ttu

It's a 0.7 mile out & 0.7 mile back walk -- 1.4 miles total walking.  

The guy sees them quite a few times and they are always working in one particular area...  

I'm game to try, if you are.  How does Wednesday morning March 27th work for you?  I have to leave no later than 11:20a or so to get to my volunteer gig at the church...  We could meet at the parking lot for the nature preserve in the morning (you pick the time) & go for it!  8)  It is located north of Creekside Forest Drive on Dr Ann Snyder Drive...

You can easily find pileated woodpeckers consistently at Bear Creek Park if you are unsuccessful there.
