Thanks, David. That sounds like what my references identify as a Ladder-backed Woodpecker, same markings, same
range. That is the name I have always used, apparently incorrectly. Others have identified it as the Red-Bellied
Woodpecker, which is common east of the Mississippi River. I have had this same input from listers in Maryland and
North Carolina, where it is also found.
I am about to post a better quality image, which I failed to discover from
yesterday's shoot. It gives better details.
I dropped that one into the Cornell Lab Merlin ID site, and it agrees with
Red-Bellied Woodpecker.
That's a darn useful site - thanks for the link, Chuck!
