This morning we decided to hike along the north side of Long Lake (destination Lake Isabel). We saw an American Three-toed Woodpecker flaking wood off a tree. It was only 30 ft. off the trail about 3 feet off the ground.
On our way back down from our hike, again along the north side of Long Lake, we first saw 2 Three-toed just 20 ft. off the trail; a short distance farther 2 more; and then a little farther along yet another 2! Three of them were males. Not sure if I'd say we saw 7 total since we may have seen the same bird we saw going up the trail when we came back down. But, a confirmed 6 American Three-toedWoodpeckers! After trying to see one several times in the past with no luck we hit the jackpot today!
