On a recent midday walk in Green-Wood I came across a Downy Woodpecker/Dryobates pubescens battering away at a dead looking branch of Beech.
A Northern Flicker/Colaptes auratus caught me by surprise. Later I saw two more. Although one of them could have been this one.
A couple of Red-bellied/Melanerpes carolinus were seen.
A Yellow-belied Sapsucker/Sphyrapicus varius was spotted, but not to photographic advantage.
Hairy WPs are rare here in the city. Red-headed are rarer still. Pileated, the rarest of all.
