This guy was making a racket down in the gorge along W River Rd near 27th St E. He’s been gorging on that branch for some time now from the look of it.

  9. Here’s a link to the photos
    I took of the woodpecker. Click the “All Sizes” link to zoom in. I went past optical zoom on a few of them, which leads to some strange colors, but maybe they’re good enough to settle this debate?
