Fwd: Acorn Woodpecker

[cldavis at xmission dot com]

This was forwarded to me by Marilyn Davis, Red Cliffs Audubon. The sighting
was reported to her by Lee Jones:

"I  went birding yesterday (Aug 31) to Kolob Res. and the Lava Point area
of Zion's.

Just before you get to the Lamoreaux Ranch Cabin is a large, old pine
tree, about 70 feet west of the road.  At the
base of the tree is a small water catchments pond (actually a mud
hole).  The area around the tree was very
active with bird life.  The most interesting to me was some Lewis
Woodpeckers.  As I watch the Lewis's, a
 lone Acorn Woodpecker flew by.  It's light yellow, clownish face was
easily seen.

The tree is 1.5 miles down canyon from the Lamoreaux Cabin, or about 2
miles up canyon from the parking lot of
the Wildcat Canyon Trailhead next to Pine Valley Peak.
(Lamoreaux Cabin is about 1.5 miles down canyon from Blue Springs
Reservoir)
