Late this afternoon I drove to Pueblo Mtn Park to look for the Acorn Woodpecker that had been found last week-end by Dave Van Manen, Director of Mtn Park Environmental Center that manages this city owned park, and the members of his field trip. Paul Hurtado and Dave Van Manen had spotted one in 2000 but no other sightings have been made in Pueblo County until last week-end. This is a very rare bird in eastern Colorado with only a small population very near the New Mexico border in Sugarite Canyon State Park, where I saw one some years ago, and a couple of sightings in the Colorado Springs area in recent years. Otherwise there is a population of them in the Durango area. SeEtta
