Common Black-Hawk and Acorn Woodpecker



A Common Black-Hawk was observed (5-9-03) along Verdure Creek southeast of Monticello.  It was observed near the LDS church property.  It was perched along the creek near a small pond (UTM Coordinates 639788  4183160).  The area is mainly Ponderosa Pine mixed with aspen.  It was observed by four different people and we were able to get good looks of the bird both perched and flying.
 
The Acorn Woodpecker was seen in the usual spot where US 191 crosses Devil Canyon.
