[cobirds] Ladder-backed Woodpecker on far west side of Canon City this afternoon

While watching an apparent family group of 3-4 Ash-throated Flycatchers moving together just off of Temple Canyon Road on the far west side of Canon City, I spotted a male Ladder-backed Woodpecker. Canon City is on the northern boundary for sightings of Ladder-backed Woodpecker but most are seen in the area around Brush Hollow Res east of town.  I spotted this bird in juniper/cholla grassland on the far west side of Canon City off of Tunnel Drive Road a location I don't recall them being reported before.  Actually the west side of Canon City has had sightings on a rare basis over the past 15 or so years but none in recent years.  I got a couple of photos of the woodpecker than I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog and will put up a couple of the Ash-throated Flycatchers in a bit.
