Red shouldered hawk doing red shouldered hawk things, which this time of year is being very noisy.

Saw a different woodpecker today - yellow crown and grey wings. I wish I'd gotten a photo but, okay I just stood there and watched. Not running the little chainsaw. This is the second time I've been stopped by a woodpecker, clearing up this patch of woods with so many dead firs. A lot of the fir trees are blue on the inside, and apparently that's a fungus spread by bark beetles, so it appears the bark beetles have really had their way with these vars.
Looked it up and seems to be this one called Black backed woodpecker, although to me it looked a solid grey: I've never seen one like this before.
