DRAT DRAT DRAT

I woke up at 6:18 this morning and realized that I'd typed Red-naped
when I meant RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER.

This was purely a typing problem - a case of brain lock.

This brings to 5 the number of woodpeckers I've seen at Marymoor:

> Pileated Woodpecker
> Northern Flicker
> Downy Woodpecker
> Hairy Woodpecker
Red-breasted Sapsucker

I think I'm unlikely to see more, though a red-naped *would* be nice...
