Acorn Woodpecker - questions about reports

[John Tumasonis]

All:

        1)   People posting on Ebirds and other forums are reporting Acorn Woodpecker is at Green Mountain Cemetery in Boulder CO.   Green Mountain Cemetery is in Longmont, NOT Boulder.  Can someone clarify this?   

2)  Several others are saying they are seeing TWO acorn woodpeckers.  Is that correct or not?  

Please answer if you can with clarifications so others are not getting incorrect information.   Thanks,

Thanks for the clarifications on these Todd!    Hopefully people on Ebirds and other places correct this.

FYI, the eBird Hotspot for Mountain View Cemetery lists it as Mountain View Cemetery (Boulder Co.).  The Boulder Co. is for Boulder County, because there are other cemeteries with the same name.  I think there is one with the same name in Pueblo.  For obvious reason, it's a common cemetery name in Colorado.   And yes, only one female Acorn Woodpecker is present.

CObirders when I was there on the 24th there was one Acorn Woodpecker and two Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. One was a nice male and the other was a plain looking individual. Photos of the plain bird can be seen attached to my list of the 24th.

This is showing up because the eBird Hotspot for Mountain View Cemetery in Longmont was created to list it as "Mountain View Cemetery (Boulder Co.)".  The "Boulder Co." stands for Boulder County and is listed because there is another Mountain View Cemetery in Pueblo, I believe.  So this is to avoid confusion.  It's a pretty common cemetery name in Colorado, as you'd expect.
