Cobirders, The areas that Ira describes in his post are actually in Douglas County. I too have not had any observations of Lewis's Woodpecker activity this year at the historical spot just north of Sedalia. However, the American Three-toed Woodpeckers can still be observed the historical spot ~10 mi west of Sedalia. I have observed them at that location multiple times this year, most recently being the third week of June. They are responsive to a reasonable imitation of their drumming. The area was also ripe with Williamson's Sapsuckers and even a few Hairy's as well.
