Fred,

Thanks for posting this list on Tweeters. However, I noted a typo regarding
one of the sapsuckers. Don't take this observation personally; read on...


>Red-naped Sapsucker
>Williamson's Sapsucker
>Olive-sided Sapsucker

There must be something wierd about the word combination "Olive-sided" that
leads one to make this error. I once published an list that contained
"Olived-sided Woodpecker."

There is an "Olive Woodpecker" in the neotropics.
