Great birding blog you have here, thanks for dropping by at mine. Thanks again!
cheers
Congratulations!
I had my first Rufous Woodpecker at my own yard about 17 years ago when I was just ready to go to school. It was a very surprising find. It was found for about 6 days and vanished never to return again. It was very vocal during its stay which betrayed its presence.
Jordan and Amila, thanks for your comments.
