i am thinking this is a juvenile male Williamson's Sapsucker. I wish I could have gotten a picture of more of his body but the eye stripe and white on the wing sure look like this bird.

Not sure if this is a flicker or juvenile sapsucker. The row of holes made me think sapsucker.

New bird for the yard. First appearance of a Williamson's Sapsucker.

Yay! I was really hoping to see one of these up at Sagehen.

On a lodgepole pine tree

I could hear this bird in the underbrush as I approached and suddenly it made a short flight up onto the rock, where it looked around, and then dove into the underbrush again. Then it went again to the rock and back to the underbrush. It was very vocal. I moved on after a minute in case the parents were waiting to come feed it.

Actively poking neat rows of holes in tree. Doesn't match photos of mature bird. Perhaps an immature?

Overwintering rarity, full adult male. Pictures are not very good, but at least we found it in the 22º cold!
