> Felt the same as John (i.e. surprise) when, around 5:30 p.m., Jeanie and Mark and I saw a Hairy Woodpecker on one of their trees, in the Victory Heights neighborhood, a little SW of Meadowbrook Pond (near the VH park/playground) - I think it was a male, as we saw the red occipital patch on the back of the head.

> Hi all,
>
> This isn't news that's going to make you alter your weekend plans...I just saw a female Hairy Woodpecker in my backyard in north Seattle. It was here for about 20 minutes working on a dying ornamental shrub. It had a long bill and white outer tail feathers and was large. I got a few digibin'ed photos. Not a bird I was expecting to see in a sparsely wooded suburban neighborhood a few blocks south of Meadowbrook Pond.
