Acorn Woodpecker, House Finch masquerading as Snow Bunting--El Paso

[Marty]

CoBirders,

The female Acorn Woodpecker is still in the neighborhood around the Sacred Grounds coffee shop in SW Colorado Springs, on Cheyenne Blvd.--especially on the north side of the road, in yards of houses 1804-1810 between the two ends of Willow Circle. 1804 is the one described previously by Bill Maynard with the inflated green Santa/Grinch, and with a suet feeder in the east side/back yard, which the woodpecker was feeding at today around 3:40. Both hairy & downy also present, and nuthatches.

Earlier at our rental-home feeders I was initially trying to make a Snow Bunting out of an interesting leucistic male House Finch... This link has a few pics of this bird: http://www.mediafire.com/?0886p9dkn1sue
