Poznámky
I used noise reduction in Audacity to decrease the sound of me walking. Three of the woodpecker's calls are in the recording, beginning at about 0.4, 2.6, and 6.0 seconds.
Podrobnosti k pozorování
From near the intersection of Delmar Way and Vail St, I saw a woodpecker fly by, mostly just a silhouette, but I thought I caught a glimpse of a pale head on the otherwise dark bird. It clearly was not a Downy Woodpecker (bill too long) or a Northern Flicker (far too small) and both the head and the bill looked possibly too big (relative to the body) for a sapsucker. I saw where I thought the bird had landed in some trees to the south across Mayberry, so I quickly walked over there and, as I approached the trees, on Charles Place, I could hear the distinctive "pee-tik" call of the woodpecker, repeated about ten times, heard well enough for the ID. It flew off roughly to the southwest. I never did see it well. I saw a White-headed Woodpecker earlier in the week in our yard on Delmar Way, and I assume this was the same bird (although there have been at least three other WHWO reports in Reno in the past two months, so who knows). A nice bird for the end of the CBC!
