    Hi everyone,
    
    Today at? Los Vaqueros Reservoir in Contra Costa Co., I re-found?the LEWIS'S WOODPECKER?originally reported by Mary Shea on Feb 3 (as posted on eBird). 
    
    The bird was near the "cowboy cabin", which can be reached as follows:
    -Park?at the staging area about 1/4 mile?past the Los Vaqueros Marina.
    -Take the Los Vaqueros Trail north about 2 miles (a nice birdy walk next to the reservoir).
    -At the small abandoned ranch,?(aka cowboy?cabin) follow the trail to the right, around the?perimeter of the ranch.
    -Just past the ranch is a small pond on the right side of the trail. And just past the pond is a large oak. The Lewis's Woodpecker was sitting in the top of this oak.?During the time I was there, it moved between this oak and the next one down the trail on the left side.?
