Hairy Woodpecker (Code 1) 1 Jan 2015
Area: Uncommon local resident, they are scattered across the larger wooded areas of Hunterdon County.
Yard: Uncommon local resident, there is at least one male bird that sometimes shows up in my yard, either to visit the suet feeder or the trees in the side yard. Seen sporadically in the first 3 years that we lived in this home, but seen almost daily with increased coverage during the Backyard Big Year. The male bird shows up for only a few minutes at a time and can be easily missed.
Hairy Woodpecker hanging out briefly on our patio.
