Lewis' woodpecker persists at the Magnuson Park ponds this morning.  Several birders had sightings.  Beautiful!

I did get shots of him sticking his bill into a snag too. No drumming or calling noted. He was harangued by the odd Crow, Red-winged BB, and Flicker, so he sometimes hunkered just below the foliage-sky line, but mostly he was out on the snags. Had to move around a lot to keep up. Definitely had some favorite snags. 
I learned today that Lewis's Woodpecker was named after Meriwether Lewis. 
I want to thank Ben for helping me locate this Lifer, and to say hi to all the cool Birders I met today! I managed to get some decent shots, and they can be seen on the Western Washing Birders Facebook Group (which is an open group, so you don't need to be a member to browse). Just search the left column for Lewis or my name.

Thanks to everyone who posted and helped me find this bird. It was love at first sight!

Meri May Day all! :)
