Thanks! And thanks for the info, not heard of the Hairy Woodpecker before *will update title). With the cold/altitude etc, just didn't cross my mind to see a woodpecker.Nice captures. Why 'unexpected'? This is a Hairy Woodpecker. They can be difficult to distinguish from a Downy, but the proportionate size of bill to head is the first clue.
We've got an awful lot of Hairy and Downey woodpeckers all year long including winter in Jackson Hole and the Tetons.With the cold/altitude etc, just didn't cross my mind to see a woodpecker.
