I've heard him a few times and a couple of days ago I found him hammering away behind the tennis courts. He was in a great position for viewing and taking photos but on the shady side of the tree. I think the videos are much more impressive than the few good stills I managed to get but as the foliage disappears, assuming he hangs around, he'll probably provide much better photos ops. I eventually got a little too close and he flew to another closeby tree where he shared the spotlight with a downy woodpecker; they were less than two feet apart until he spotted the smaller bird and chased it away - the big bully! :)
