More photos of Lewis's Woodpeckers

Today I was able to get a few more good photos of Lewis's Woodpeckers today. These are all of juvenile birds. See the dark heads and necks on these birds (adult birds have red on their faces and whitish necks). See all the photos of Lewis's Woodpeckers and other birds by clicking here

Save trees in the Boreal forest for birds, not for paper--Opt out of catalogues

From our high montane areas to the riparian areas along the Arkansas River as it exits Colorado, southeast Colorado offers birding opportunities for beginners to those serious birders who seek out the less common species. We have great shortgrass and sandsage prairie birding including public areas on the Comanche National Grasslands. We have wetlands including playa lakes (playas are important shallow, depressional wetlands that provide essential habitat for waterfowl and many other bird species). We have small lakes (such as Lake Cheraw north of La Junta)and large lakes (such as John Martin Reservoir that encompasses 35 square miles) that host an impressive diversity of bird species. And we have large expanses of pinyon-juniper woodlands with their special birding opportunities.
