[obol] White-headed

[Tim Janzen]

Dear Mary Reese,

            If you decide to go to Cabin Lake to look for White-headed
Woodpeckers you might want to check out a site where I saw a White-headed
Woodpecker excavating a nest hole in late May.  It could have an active nest
there now.  These are the directions to the nest:  from China Hat Road go
1.6 m. west of Cabin Lake along Rd. NFD 2435 and stop just past the
intersection with Rd. 760.  Look about 75 feet to the southeast where the
nest was in the middle tree of 3 dead snags on s. side of road.

            White-headed Woodpeckers are also common in the Sisters area
near Cold Springs Campground, Indian Ford Campground, and the vicinity, so
there are closer areas than Cabin Lake to find White-headed Woodpeckers.

Sincerely,

Tim Janzen

Portland

Mary Reese- I don't know the closest to Portland White-headed WP but there
is a male at Cabin Lake Ranger Stn./camp a few miles north of Fort Rock.
They have nested there in recent years.  I have two photos of him up at:

I took his photo from June 23 at 7:20 p.m., as he worked from bottom to top
of a decaying snag/timber several ft. tall placed near the upper blind
watering hole (inside the corralled sanctuary behind the Ranger Stn.)
Because of light and not knowing my brand-new camera well enough yet, the
digiscoped shots aren't what they should be.  This male had very uneven and
"partial" red patch on his crown.
