miles before Thompson Reservoir, 11 miles southwest of Silverlake, take road 
4-11 (aka 27).  In the immediate area where you turn off the highway for 
Alder Spring there were a total of 9 LEWIS' WOODPECKERS.   We sat and ate 
lunch and saw 25 species of birds coming into Alder Spring, it is one of the 
birdiest places I have ever seen.  I had been there earlier, on Tuesday 
morning, and recorded 39 species from dawn until about 10 AM.  Too bad they 
let cows in.  It is a small number, maybe a dozen that I could see, but they 
can totally trash the hundred yard of stream that comes out of the 
enclosured spring before it dries up.

We had a great time and saw close to 150 species in the 3 days the group was 
there.
