Image of Crimson-crested Woodpecker

Description:

OK, I will test your patience with some scans of some old, marginal 35 mm slides. gcwarbler had retained many boxes of some of my culled slides from 20-30 years ago. I have enough to keep me busy for many weeks at least with scanning, etc. (thanks Chuck….I think!). These will all be of records I had not posted to iNat previously. Sorry for the marginal/poor quality of most of these but they are all I have. My field notes record that I had Crimson-crested Woodpecker as well as Lineated Woodpecker on this date. I had not seen this slide in 20+ years but I think it must be Lineated even though the back stripes don't look correct. The only other species that looks similar is Crimson-bellied Woodpecker which is rare and seldom seen. Other thoughts?
