I pulled up near the Skyline Ridge OSP entrance and saw a LEWIS'S WOODPECKER perched on the telephone pole opposite Skyline Blvd. from the entrance. It shortly flew across the road (into San Mateo County) and landed on a tree atop the hill around which Horseshoe Lake wraps. I moved in for a closer view and lost track of the bird. I saw an Acorn Woodpecker and a No. Flicker while trying to relocate the Lewis's. An immature Cooper's Hawk made a beeline off another telephone pole for something on the ground near the north parking lot. As I was leaving, I saw a dark profile on a short utility pole on the Monte Bello OSP (northeast) side of the road that turned out to be the (another?) Lewis's. It was pecking and eating a green acorn. I watched and photographed the bird for a while as it flew from pole to pole. This location is about 0.5 to 0.75 mi. south(east) on Skyline Blvd. from Page Mill Rd. Auto traffic moves very fast in this straightway section.
