Subject: Three-toed woodpecker, Williamson's sapsucker

Message: A pair of three-toed woodpeckers are excavating a nest on one 
of the Mirror Lake trails.  Go to Mirror Lake and park in the "Trail 
Head" parking lot.  Take the trail next to the horse corrals (and keep
an 
eye out for snowshoe hare.)  About a quarter mile in (estimate by Bob 
Huntington, I am terrible with distances) is a lightning struck pine 
tree very close to the right side of the trail.  It is completely bare
and 
forks like a Saguaro cactus about ten feet up.  Look on the right-hand 
fork.  There is a nest hole.  Be patient and the woodpeckers will show 
up.  These were seen on June 25th by Steve Carr, Bob Huntington, Bob 
MacDougall, Kent Morsby, and Barbara Watkins.

On the same day a pair of Williamson's sapsuckers were seen on the 
Provo Falls overlook trail.  Just hike on the right side (facing
upstream) 
of the river until you reach the end of the falls (a large tree has 
fallen completely across the river.  Continue hiking about 200 yards 
(remember I'm terrible with distances) until the river takes a very
wide 
sharp bend to the left.  We were here when the pair showed up and
foraged 
on trees on both sides of the river.  Happy birding. 

[Steve Carr, Bob Huntington, Bob MacDougall, 
Kent Morsby, and Barbara Watkins]
