Ladder-backed Woodpecker moved to decidous trees
Yesterday morning I returned to the Canon City Riverwalk to see if the interesting birds from the day before were still around. I did not locate the White-throated Sparrows but did refind the Ladder-backed Woodpecker. It was about 150 feet west of it's position the day before, and just off the trail; however, it was in some small trees/large shrubs between the trail and the irrigation canal that runs adjacent. It flew up to about 50-60 above the ground in a very large cottonwood tree for awhile then to the other side of the trail into some small deciduous trees on the hillside where I got these pics. It will be interesting to see if it works it's way into the sections of the hillside next to the trail that have tree cholla cactus. SeEtta
