[cobirds] Red-bellied Woodpecker --- El Paso county 09/23/15

COBirders,

I was able to get out for just a little while early this morning to do some birding.  I decided to go to Ramah SWA in NE El Paso county.  It was extremely birdie but other than the subject bird, RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, I was not able to find anything else really unexpected.  Had my first real push of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS (50+) and quite few WILSON'S and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS.  Still quite a few shorebirds around with the best being STILT SANDPIPERs.  I am not sure how many Red-bellied Woodpeckers have been seen in El Paso county but this was only my second with the otther being a winter bird at Chico Basin Ranch.
