Okay, I'll bite. What are signs of three toed woodpeckers? I know signs
for sapsuckers, though obviously not to species, but I would miss signs
of three toes. I'm guessing that maybe there was a recent forest fire
through the area. In California we would expect to see Three toed
woodpeckers in recent burn areas. Am I close?
