Visits

  • 2012-07-13: After a rainy night of camping, we were up and moving by sunrise. I was looking for an American Three-toed Woodpecker, but the guy at the visitor center did not want to understand my question about where I could find a burned out forest. He sent us to the Jenny Lake area where there were not any burned out trees. At the second visitor center, I was given some directions to a burned forest on a dirt road near Spalding Bay. We found the place pretty easily, though the road was not really good for our mid-sized passenger car. It was starting to get later in the day, and we still had several hours of driving ahead of us. So, I gave up on the search for the woodpeckers after about 45 minutes. Of course, on our walk back to the car, two of the woodpeckers appeared.... but too little too late as Scott is shut down in the ninth. Birds 12, Scott 10
