Hi,

My name is Helen Poelker
Phone (303) 238-3741
Address is 9730 W 23rd Ave Lakewood, CO 80215
1/2 block east of Kipling St.

Around noon today I spotted a Flicker and an unknown bird at our suet feeder. The unknown was a brown bird with a speckled breast and a beak and tail much shorter than the Flicker.

I checked the What A Bird web site and immediately recognized it as an Arizona Woodpecker.

Then I searched the web and found the Colorado Birds Google Group and your posting for rare bird sightings by day.

I hope this helps.
