There are other areas in Colorado that have excellent mature cottonwoods and whatever other conditions they may need for nesting that draws good numbers of these. One such location is the town of Beulah, sw of Pueblo, where I have seen more than 30 or 40 birds including a large nesting along one heavily treed street. There are certainly other areas that host a pair of two for breeding--I usually have 2-3 such locations in Fremont Co and see them also in Otero Co.
SeEtta Moss Canon City http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com I made a quick stop at Turkey Creek Ranch this morning and saw at least 8 > Lewis Woodpeckers in the picnic area alone. My question is: does anyone > have any idea why there are so many of these relatively rare for Colorado > birds concentrated in this area? I wonder if the large forest fire that > occurred on Fort Carson adjacent to the ranch about a year and a half ago > has anything to do with it. I welcome any ideas. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
