Some woodpeckers, that were found stuffed in a backpack in Salinas a couple months ago, have been released to the wild. The birds (and their nest) were taken to the S.P.C.A of Monterey County’s Wildlife Center, after the backpack was found in the middle of a road near La Paz Park. The little woodpeckers appear to be adjusting well to their return to the wild. The SPCA Wildlife Center is the only full service wildlife rehabilitation center serving Monterey county.
