Hi all, These birds were seen on Ponderosa Pine Trail Loop (Trail #LT5) off Bogus Basin Rd. The pull out for this trail is just past the 12 mile marker on Bogus Basin Rd. There is a dirt pull-out for parking. You can not drive to the spot I observed these birds but it is an old dirt road and is easy walking. White-headed (male) and could have been a second - approx 1/4 to 1/3 mile down the road, right at the sign for the split off trail LT6 that says "To Dry Creek". Bird was eating at the Ponderosas on both the downslope side and upslope. The Williamson's (female) was out about 1-1.25 miles on Ponderosa Pine Trail (LT5). If you stay on this trail until you get to sort of a flat overlook towards Boise - it has several large boulders - the bird was behind the biggest boulder on a Ponderosa on the east edge of that area. It was an interesting woodpecker day on this trail. There was also a Hairy and Northern Flicker. Danette Henderson Boise |

Danette, you’re probably a member of FzB Northend group, but here’s a recent trail report. Monday’s temps should produce muddy trails early. Dean   On Thu, Oct 20, 2022 at 1:13 PM henderson.danette <danette444@...> wrote:

Hi Dean, I'm not on FB but do follow R2R. Was just talking with Matthew (husband) about likely bad trails. Our hiker number is low so I'm thinking it will be pretty easy to provide back up plans (Rocky Canyon, 8th Street Rd, etc). It does look like most trails will be bad :( Hope you are doing well and have a great holiday. Maybe I'll "see" you on Zoom mtg tomorrow night. Thanks again Dean.
