[cobirds] Hairy Woodpecker, Colo Spgs, El Paso Co. Tues.

Hi COBirders,

For the past four days we have been seeing a female Hairy Woodpecker in our yard, in Mountain Shadows, NW Colorado Springs. While not rare, it is only the second one we've seen here in 26 years. We get many Downy Woodpeckers, and as many as five flickers at a time, but not Hairys. (BTW, we are only about 300m from Marty Wolf's house, where he recently reported the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker).

Against the foothills here, we are also seeing more migrant raptors, with 13 soaring Red-tails Saturday, and more accipiters cruising by, too, scaring the siskins and juncos.

Good birding,
Steve Brown
Colorado Springs
