Indicator Birds

      The Hairy Woodpecker (in photo) is sure to show in a burn site as soon as bugs and conica fire morels are prevalent; http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Hairy_Woodpecker/id/  Another bird that starts making its mating call usually just prior to the spring black morels first flush is the Mountain Chickadee.  It has a distinctive call that sounds much like; cheese-burg-er repeated over and over again & again. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mountain_Chickadee/id
