At 11:45 a.m. 3/7/2015 Cheryl and I found a Lewis's Woodpecker along N. 39th St. not very far south of Nelson Road. We first spotted its crow-like flight near the road as it flew east and landed on a utility pole about 50 yards east of the road at 8922 N. 39th Street. This is about 10 miles north of downtown Boulder and less than a mile east of US 36; about a mile almost due east of The Greenbriar Restaurant at Lefthand Canyon. The only camera I had with me was a point-and-shoot with 12x optical zoom. The bird stayed on the utility pole for several minutes so I had no trouble getting identifiable photos, one of which I will include with my eBird report.
