a friend of mine wrote in email that he saw a "red-tufted" woodpecker outside his window on the upper west side of Manhattan. I thought he mixed up a couple of bird names, was pretty sure he had seen a downy. He confessed to merely describing the look of the bird - not knowing it's square name. Obviously, that little fellow of yours gets around! :)
