In regards to White-headed Woodpeckers in the Wenas Creek region. My
thinking would be to wait for next spring. After breeding they can be
impossible in the Wenas area. I suspect they undertake post-breeding
wanderings most years into adjacent forests. Finding them away from their
traditional breeding sites then becomes a real chancy affair. Not impossible
but it could involve some serious work. From April through June they should
be on territory and relatively easy. Call me next spring at 509-877-6639 and
I'll give you the latest on their whereabouts.
