Kevin, it is well worth posting it on OBOL. Even if it was seen this summer,
it is a rare bird we otherwise would not have known about.

Yes, that's a good point. I think the poster on FB had no idea how much
interest this photo would generate and has gone to do normal Thanksgiving
things. I apologize in advance if this turns out to be a false alarm.

The picture has nothing but green leaves in it. I am guessing it wasn’t taken
recently. The bird is definitely a Red-bellied, though.

It doesn't look to have made it to eBird, but the Facebook Birding Oregon group
has a possible Red-bellied Woodpecker spotted in Cottage Grove
