Birds

We were surprised to find quail up here.  They looked fat and healthy.  I just don't know how they survive the winters here with the deep snow they get.  The campground is full of trees and many of them are infested with bugs.  This attracts every kind of woodpecker.  The darn things even peck at the totem poles which also get infested with bugs.  This pileated woodpecker was going after the bugs in the logs that had been cut up.  I don't know if this was easier pickings for him or why he liked these logs so much. 

We are packing up and heading out of Idaho.  We will slowly make our way back to Yuma.  We have to get out of the mountains here because they are talking snow this week.  Time to go!
