In addition to all the rare vagrants I have posted about that I found in 'Lamar Woods' last week-end I also saw local specialty birds like this Red-bellied Woodpecker, a species that is resident in this location and others on the eastern Colorado plains near the Kansas border (and thus closer to their range). This male was very busy eating and gathering the 'olive' fruit of Russian Olive trees as he is doing in these pics. The bottom pic is an enlargement of the top pic that really shows his beautiful brown eyes and his not so beautiful but different grey feet (I wonder how many specie have grey instead of black feet?). More pics to follow. SeEtta
