On a nice snowy Sunday hike up Horsethief Falls Trail (Teller Co, off Hwy 67 between Divide and Cripple Creek), we had a female-plumaged Three-toed Woodpecker flaking bark off a Spruce (likely Englemann) at the falls. Most cooperative and friendly TTWO I have encountered. Flaking bark at eye level just 10 feet away from 5 of us, without concern.
Also seen:
Dark-eyed Juncos (all gray-headed race)
Flock of 30+ Pine Siskins
Townsend’s Solitaire
Otherwise, fairly quiet.
