The Lewis's Woodpecker has been cooperative today (May 17) in my neighbors' yard next door and across Wilfred Street in the same tree as yesterday. I'd guesstimate that over 130 bird watchers have been here to see it these two days, all successfully as far as I know.
We've had birders from Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Houghton Lake and northern Indiana. One man drove last night from somewhere in the Upper Peninsula to be here at first light and see the bird.
Thanks to Kathleen Steele from Grand Rapids who took this photo while the bird was foraging in the morning sunlight on my back neighbor's lawn.
