I'm out of state right now, but Dave Van Manen (director of the Mountain Park Enviromental Center in the Pueblo Mountain Park just south of Beaulah, CO) reports 2 ACORN WOODPECKERS in a large snag near the lodge in the park, seen today on a group hike.
Here's his description: "... this morning on our birding hike...we saw a pair of Acorn Woodpeckers on a large snag next to the little amphitheater between the pavilion and the lodge. We spent a lot of time and the birds gave us lots of looks, so I am confident we have the id correct (white eye, forehead, and throat, vibrant red crown)." Hopefully they stick around! Some of the others in the group were going to try and get pictures. If any were taken, I'll post them to the Birding Colorado group, and/or Colorado Field Ornithologists group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/BirdingColorado/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/129995222037/ (CFO group) Here's a map to the location: http://goo.gl/maps/L4xp >From the main entrance, the lodge is to the right where the road first forks.
