Jane Turner said:I disagree - its more important to see enough to know if this bird is IBWO or leucistic Pileated.
In any case this latest sighting was on the edge of a camping site and car park - not exactly undisturbed virgin forest!
TRE329 described the camping area on ibwo.net:
I do not how frequent the use of that camping area is,there are some sizeable ruts in the road getting back to it.I should mention as well that all of the campsites at Wattensaw are extremely primitive usually being just a graveled area off the main road.Also of all of the campsites along this road this one is 300+ yards off the road.
So it's not exactly the kind of place families go to and roast marshmallows - probably just used seasonally by hunters.
