126: Woodpeckers On A Winter Morning

This was recorded on a cold, cloudy, and breezy morning in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. There was a small group of dead standing Red Fir trees not far from my campsite that a pair of Downy Woodpeckers were busily pecking at looking for insects beneath the bark. Mountain Chickadees and Red Breasted Nuthatches can be heard in the background, and a pair of curious Ravens fly by to see what all the ruckus is about.

This recording is one of several I made while on a three night camping trip to the Walking Bear Camp area of Moosehead Creek. Unfortunately during my stay there was an abundance of air traffic. This recording includes a bit of that air traffic, but I thought it wasn't so bad that I couldn't share it with you.
