[mou] Two Unexpected Woodpeckers in the Yard (Little Canada, Ramsey Co.)

[Steve Bachman]

Saw a Pileated Woodpecker in my yard for the first
time in two years today.  My wife and I occasionaly
hear one from our yard, and we saw one at some ponds
less than a half mile from our house a few weeks ago. 
It's always a thrill to see one of these birds
closeup.

I also saw plenty of our "regular" woodpeckers today:
numerous Downy WPs, several Red-bellied WPs, and at
least one Hairy.  But, bigger (to me) even than seeing
the Pileated was ...

My first ever (yard or otherwise) Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker.
