On my way down to the CFO Convention in Salida, I took one of many side trips. From south 285 I turned right on County Rd 162 (Nathrope) towards Mt Prinston Hot Springs. Approx 20 yards from the intersection, on the top of one of two dead trees was a Lewis Woodpecker. I had planned on running up to Buena Vista to look for the Lewis reported a few days ago. This one sat still for some time and allowed for some good photos!

Lewis's are very common in BV. Go to the west side of town and look in the tall cottonwoods, especially any that have a dead snag. Piñon jays have been abundant all winter and spring on the east side of town, look near the river Park, South Main and Midland Hill.

Cobirders,

If anyone visited the location described below this past weekend and found a blue square portable speaker with an iPod inside along the side of the road I would happily connect you to its owner. The iPod contents are mainly bird songs with a heavy weighting of the Counting Crows species...

Good Birding,
