They are awesome birds! How fortunate you are to have them that close.

We live in the hilly part of southern Indiana and have a lot of piliated woodpeckers in our woods, I have a great picture of 2 of them on the side of a jack pine about 15 feet outside of our kitchen window, sometimes they wake us up in the morning with their wacky call, we see 5 or 6 several times a day, I suppose they are the same 2 or 3 birds.]]> Sun, 24 Jun 2012 21:06:10 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2565&PID=25530#25530 Wings over Weston (MO)- Podding and Birding : Thank you, birding (we are no... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2565&PID=24363#24363 Author: DocTom

Thank you, birding (we are no experts) is a fun thing to do as one travels around the country, and the bird populations around the gulf coast are awesome.

We occasionally see another pod along the highway and there are 4 or 5 stored in the cave where I keep ours when not out travelling. In campgrounds, it is really fun when several of us central midwesterners get together in a park. 4 or 5 of us in a row brings in lots of curious folks. next weekend there are at least 4 of us meeting up in Branson, MO, and again over Labor Day, just north of Kansas City. If you are ever passing through this area, let us know!

How close are you to Superior, WI, Duluth, MN and the North Shore. We absolutely love the north shore and will be taking our pod up that direction in the summer of 2013 if all goes well.My brother has a place in NW Minnesota, so we start up there, then head east and up the shore. We love Grand Marais, and will probably spend a few days near there. Tina and Tom

Nice photos Doc Tom. We just came off a month of camping/birding (ok a bit of fishing too) in LA, MS and AL. Alabama was partiularly impressive. Stayed for a week on Dauphin Island which is a "fall down" area for migrants. Lots of variety of birds and some that never make it as far north as WI.

Of note: In 4000 miles and 8 state parks we never saw another R-pod. Reading this forum you'd think the country is covered in them. Guess we're a more elite group than I thought.

Tina, Claire (a 7 year old friend), Louie Dalmatian and I enjoyed a beautiful weekend in the R-pod (yes - 3 plus a dog fit just fine), at Weston Bend State Park just north of Kansas City on I-29. Wings over Weston took place on Saturday. This festival celebrates the awesome bird migration that takes place up the Missouri River every Spring. We saw a pilliated woodpecker, several summer tanangers (male and female), a arcadian flycatcher, several different warblers, vireos, indigo buntings, owls, hawks, falcons, orioles, and heard lots we could not identify. It is always fun camping, but I haven't camped with a 7 year old for 30 + years. What fun it was to enjoy the festival, introduce Claire to birding, and enjoy s'mores! (I am tired!!!!)
