2012 July 28 - Cooper Spur

The highlight of the day had to be the difficult to locate Black-backed Woodpecker that, when finally found, gave us a long look, as well as the Sooty Grouse that unfortunately was seen by only the first car. I counted 39 species on this lovely July day.

Sooty Grouse. Dendragapus fuliginosus.
