It was a fun day, wasn't it? <BR/><BR/>I rate birding trips by the number of woodpecker species I've seen. We have 7 species in Ohio in the winter, and it takes at least 3 for me to consider the day worthwhile. Counting the Pileated Woodpecker that flew over the parking lot before you got there, Sunday was a "4 woodpecker day" for me, which means a good day. Five or 6 is great, and I have only ever had a 7 woodpecker day once. The Red-headed Woodpecker is the hardest one to get, and you practically have to know a spot where they hang out to find one.<BR/><BR/>Hope to see you at another local bird walk soon. Maybe I'll be there the day you get your 200th species!<BR/><BR/>~KathiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18239868.post-1164639826361410752006-11-27T10:03:00.000-05:002006-11-27T10:03:00.000-05:00Sounds like a fun trip!

And Ruddies - love their little tails that poke straight up!<BR/><BR/>I remember my first *real* bird walk with fond memories. Great leader and a wonderful bunch of little old ladies who didn't make me feel embarrassed. We saw bluebirds and an indigo bunting and nestling great horned owls that day - I was hooked for life.LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18239868.post-1164587598052929262006-11-26T19:33:00.000-05:002006-11-26T19:33:00.000-05:00Susan,Awesome, Awesome!!!!
