Missing Acorn Woodpeckers

[Dean and Mona Hill <madmon7 at frontier dot net>]

We camped at Devil's Canyon (US Forest Service) campground between 
Monticello and Blanding last night.  The camp host told us where to find 
the granary tree used by the Acorn Woodpeckers but he said he had not seen 
them for "a couple months".  Nor did we see any.  Does anyone know if these 
woodpeckers usually do not stay year-round at Devil's Canyon or if their 
leaving may be due to this year's drought?  Does anyone know how long the 
woodpeckers have been there?

Thanks for any information available,
Mona Hill
