There are 6-7 Lewis's Woodpeckers hanging out in
Dimple Dell Park in Salt Lake County. They are on the telephone poles visible
from the parking lot and on the trees next to the pond (a short walk
along the trail from the parking lot). They were spotted there yesterday by Jack
Clark of Sandy. He, Taz Harrington, June Ryburn, Kathy Roach and I watched
them this morning (Sunday, Sept. 15). I joined them late, but they had also seen
a Gray Flycatcher, as well as Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, B-C Chickadees, Flickers,
Spotted Towhees and a Red-tailed Hawk. I assume the Lewis's are
migrating, but could they have nested in the area?
Dimple Dell Park is reached by turning east on
106000 S from 1300 E. When 106th hits a T-intersection at 2000 E turn left and
follow the road around past the small park headquarters to a large parking lot
on the left.
Best of good birding,
