Back in town after being away for the "winter" and ran out Thursday (21 May'26) to check our place near Bayview (Kootenai Co., ID) on Cape Horn Road. Everything was in good order including being greeted by a couple of returning LEWIS'S WOODPECKERs! There has been a small but growing breeding colony of these enigmatic and beautiful woodpeckers out there since 2022. Last summer there were at least three (3) breeding pairs, but likely more based on all the activity (+15 total birds at any one time) after the youngsters had fledged and formed large family groups by late July.
If you'd like to head out and catch the show this year and need directions, please let me know.
