[birding] Lewis' WP and more

[Pam Otley]

Hi all,
Inspired by Howard's post of yesterday, I headed to Finley to try to see the Lewis' Woodpecker and N Shrike.
I missed the Shrike but did see the woodpecker. Seen around 10:30, west of the main Refuge Rd, just north
of the Woodpecker Loop Rd and south of the big pullout. It was flying between the big oak trees up on the hillside.
Here are some of the other birds I saw:

At Prairie Overlook at 8:30 
3 Savannah Sparrows
1 Ring-necked Pheasant 
Western Meadowlarks
Bewick's Wren
Tree Swallows

At pond west of the restroom (south side of road)

2 Pied billed Grebes

Mallards, Ring necks, GW Teal

At Old Headquarters

Western Bluebirds
Amer Kestrel pair

At Woodpecker Loop parking lot
White tailed Kite
