A backyard surprise

I arrived home from breakfast to find a couple of new birds by the
house. A Swainson's Thrush in the front yard and, surprise, surprise,
a Red-headed Woodpecker in the backyard at the feeders. A bird I work
hard to see every year shows up in my yard in the middle of suburbia.
Who would have guessed? A couple of photos are posted on my blog:

In spite of the wind, today could be a good day to get out in the
field.
