Day 162: Just before you reach the second bridge on the Bud Blancher trail, the path takes a couple of dips and rises before sharply rounding a rusty-yellow rock outcropping devoid of any vegetation. This distinctive bend is rapidly achieving some notoriety in my mental notebook as "Pecker Corner." On my way west, a family of three Red-Breasted Sapsuckers were at work in the adjacent alders; on my way east half an hour later, two female Hairy Woodpeckers were drilling high in a tree just to the south. I'm not sure what the draw is here for 'peckers (some bug in the alders, I presume), but this is not the first time I've seen them at the same location.
