Co. birds today MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Gail- Where in Black Hill did Barry find the Red-headed Woodpeckers? I haven't had any luck in about two years finding them there and would love to see them again. Speaking of Black Hill, I finally had a chance to do some birding last weekend and had a couple of interesting sightings around "the loops" at Black Hill (Ten Mile Creek area). On Turkey Hill loop I saw two non-adult-male Purple Finches. At the top of Osprey Heights loop I had great close looks at about 6 or 7 Fox Sparrows. Apologies for the delayed posting.
