Kelly. Last year I tried to report Lewis woodpecker nesting activity in
Douglas County. I never could find a place to send the info. It is
probably not new anyway but if you are interested let me know. Long time
since I have had contact with you since I retired fro FS in 1990. Am still
doing wildlife consultation, including recent breeding bird survey for Corps
of Engineers at Chief Joseph Dam. Philip Lee
