Foothills birding Dec 27, Lewis' Woodpeckers, Golden Eagle

Yesterday on a Lewis's Woodpecker Hunt with Mona Baumgartel and John DeBeer,  we were able to refind the Lewis's Woodpecker at the same rock outcropping along the road near 25739 Black Canyon Road, Santa Ysabel (first seen Dec 12), and also one of those recently  found my Bob Theriault and Mark Jorgensen along Grapevine Canyon Rd,  3/4 miles south of the intersection with hwy 22.  Nothing like a pink and green bird as beautiful as Lewis's WP around the holidays.  There was also an immature Golden Eagle perched in a tree along Mesa Grande  Road.
