Greetings, Birders,
I had an adult Red-headed Woodpecker in Challis today. It was in the deciduous trees at the Challis Bridge BLM day use area between the flooded boat ramp area and the parking area. I lost it high in the trees and could not relocate it before several vehicles of rowdy young folk and dogs showed up, parking in the boat ramp area. I plan to return shortly and try again. With school out and the holiday weekend, I’m not sure how much human activity there might be at this particular area that might hamper birding efforts.
Feel free to e-mail me if you come to look for it. My location is literally 3 minutes away and I’d be delighted to meet other Idaho birders.
