Thanks to all participating in my latest quiz. Click here to review it. The bird is a Lewis’s Woodpecker. It was photographed here in San Angelo, Texas. It was really out of range for that species. But, as sometimes happens, he wandered off course during migration, and ended up here. He was observed for about three days, then he moved on.
I only had one shot at him. We were driving through Middle Concho park, when Ann spotted high atop a dead tree branch. After I took the photo, he then flew off into some other trees. I never saw him again.
