I've had a couple unusual sightings here on Rummel Street in McMinnville the
last couple days.
June 30 I had a WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE, an occasional visitor to this yard.
Today, July 2, I had a HAIRY WOODPECKER. The only previous sighting was
June 25 - 26, 2013. However, this bird puzzled me when I looked more
closely. The red on its head was a large bright patch on the crown, not a
spot on the nape. After some research I learned that juvenile male hairy
woodpeckers have the red crown patch.
