Title: RFI-Woodpecker
Post by: angieinto on April 21, 2010, 01:19:44 PM

Today I went over to Queens Park on my lunch hour because I heard that there were yellow-bellied sapsuckers there. I did see a woodpecker, but I don't know what kind. It wasn't a hairy or downy, I know them well.

I don't think it was the sapsucker because I didn't see any red. It was the size of a hairy, had a white bar on it's wings and had a yellowish tinge to its underbelly. Any ideas?

I'm going back tomorrow with binoculars.
