Dear Sirs,
My wife Bonnie, a long time bluebirder, Died as result of a tragic accident on April 30, 2031. Carolyn Tiller
is taking over her bluebird trail. While Iwas a great helper with some of her birding efforts I couldn't carry on
as she did. I know Caroline can as she has already shown. If she wants to continue as a subscriber she will contact
you directly. By copy I am sending this to her as well as you. Please discontinue your services to Bonnie by this notice.
Sincerely,
Edwin W Baker, Jr, Bonnie's husband

to the foothills. This Hairy Woodpecker was not the typical variety we see.
This one had a very smudgy, gray front. We looked at our books and wondered
if this was a Pacific variety. Thanks, and appreciate the help!

Hairy Woodpecker ID question answered thanks to Jim N of Maryland.
"More likely at this point in the breeding season is that this is a classic
interior west Hairy Woodpecker that has worn and dirty feathers from many
trips in and out of its nesting hole, both to excavate the hole and then to
bring food to nestlings. Depending on the tree where its nest is located,
there can be sap and resins that would end up staining the breast and other
body feathers. I see something similar with Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers
here in Maryland. By the time they have fledged their young, the adults
are very worn and dirty compared to their bright, clean appearance in the
late winter and early spring. The birds will molt after breeding and look
much fresher again."
Thanks, Jim!

Yes, you can indeed enter RMNP without a reservation before 9 a.m. or after
3 p.m. However, when we approached the entry gate yesterday about 8:30
a.m., there was quite a line of cars. The line moved fairly quickly and we
were able to enter before 9 but I don't know what happens if, for example,
you would get in the line of cars before 9 but have to wait until after 9
to enter. My advice would be to not cut it too close in trying to enter
before 9 without a reservation. Obviously, lots of other folks are using
the same strategy and there can be a back up before 9 a.m.

I went on Wednesday and was able to get timed-entry passes (as we needed 2
because our group had 2 vehicles) for the Bear Lake road. The way the
reservation system works is 75% of timed entry passes are released for
purchase a month in advance, and 25% the day before at 5 pm. We got our
passes exactly at 5 pm, with 2 different recreation.gov accounts, as they
are limit 1 per account. By 5:05 pm the passes were largely sold out for
the day. As Donna mentioned if you are entering the park before 5 am for
Bear Lake or before 9 am for the rest of the park, you don't need the
timed-entry pass, just regular fees.
It did seem like quite a bit of a hassle, especially considering we were a
group of 2 vehicles. However, the park was quite enjoyable without a crazy
amount of vehicles and cars everywhere.
Thanka,
Jeff
