[cobirds] Lewis's Woodpeckers - Mesa County

Yesterday a group of us birded Escalante Canyon.  In the area known as Escalante Forks in the upper end of the canyon, we observed 12 Lewis's Woodpeckers in narrow leaf cottonwood riparian areas along the North Fork of Escalante Creek and the main fork of Escalante Canyon, a relatively small area (less than a mile).

We also saw one Lewis's Woodpecker lower down in the canyon (total of 13 for the day),  as well as a flock of 9 Chukars and 16 Desert Bighorn Sheep.
