Woodpecker Sighting (and hearing)
Woodpecker, originally uploaded by edkohler.
This guy was making a racket down in the gorge along W River Rd near 27th St E. He’s been gorging on that branch for some time now from the look of it.
Credit Card Fraudsters
I've had a few credit card number stolen over the years.
Taxi drivers using paper transaction forms are the leading suspects.
This hasn't cost me any money out of pocket, but it's still a pain.

Looks like you may have caught a Hairy Woodpecker in action. It appears to be a female.

Or is it a female Downy?

It looks like it has a longer beak, which is why I thought it was Hairy and not Downy.

Good call, I was trying to judge by the plummage, if only we had a better shot of his head…Deets?

Here’s a link to the photos I took of the woodpecker. Click the “All Sizes” link to zoom in. I went past optical zoom on a few of them, which leads to some strange colors, but maybe they’re good enough to settle this debate?
