Several views of fairly large Oregon white oaks beginning to leaf out and bloom along Eightmile Creek in Columbia Hills State Park.........April 14, 2013. The oaks in this area suffered greatly during an ice storm during the late winter of 2011-2012 with many oaks losing branches or even being split in two. These particular two oaks had Lewis' woodpeckers perching in them minutes before the photos were taken.
