acorn woodpecker went hiking March 21, 2014 4 miles 1,000 feet gained
Mrs. Woodpecker and I took Woodpecker Jr. out for his first hike on our anniversary trip to the coast. He saw the ocean and was in the woods for the first time at 5 weeks old. Walked the beach along Manzanita and then drove to the Neahkahnie Mt. TH. Weather was windy, sunny, and 50 degrees. Lots of trillium, salmonberry, violet, and anemone. View from Neahkahnie was stellar. Watched the sunset at Cove Beach.
