Tabitha, I doubt it is a Hairy Woodpecker. It looks like Northern Flicker to me. Yellow-shafted Flicker, female.

  Thanks for the correction, Jivo. Just so you know, if you're confident enough in your finding, you can actually do the identification, also on the photo of others. In this case especially, since there is no identification yet. Posted 11 years ago

    I know, Ferdy. But I guess it is better to leave this to the author for the time being. If he (she) doesn't do the identification in a couple of days I would do it myself. Posted 11 years ago
