Any corroboration of Lewis' Woodpeckers at Bowerman? I am in no position
to question Rosalind's identification but this seems to me to a most
extraordinary sighting. Any Lewis' Woodpecker sighting in Western
Washington is noteworthy and should be documented as carefully as possible.

I can't make it out to Bowerman for the foreseeable future so I would
appreciate hearing from others who might.
