A colleague of mine told me that she saw a woodpecker, which she had never seen earlier at her house. She knows all the woodpeckers from this area. She described that it was greenish brown and had some reddish on the head. She did not get chance to see the front of the bird as it kept facing away from her. And it was seen for a short period. So we looked up the web for the pictures and she thinks it could be the LEWIS's WOODPECKER, she was fairly positive about it.
This bird was seen where a few a years ago a Red headed woodpecker was seen by many of us. May be a couple of miles up the lake from Ithaca. So keep your eyes open. Unfortunately, my colleague is also leaving town soon so it may not be seen in next few days.
