They weren't in a burn area, but they do seem to favor one particular road just outside of town and I'm not sure why. I see them along the same stretch every summer. During my 23 mile run yesterday I also spotted horned larks, bobolinks, eastern kingbirds, a road-killed sharp-shinned hawk, tons of red-winged blackbirds, and a few turkey vultures (not a comforting sight when you're near the end of a long run).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199683291737559562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738255226402221881.post-86337811271463263422009-05-25T18:00:17.184-07:002009-05-25T18:00:17.184-07:00Nothing saves a slow day of fishing like a dipper ...Nothing saves a slow day of fishing like a dipper spotting, especially when they are feeding nestlings!<br /><br />Have you come across any red-headed woodpeckers in the Black Hills? I hear they like wildfire sites.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037151652023799197noreply@blogger.com
