New Woodpecker?

Someone has a fireplace going
Nice weather for our morning forest hike.  Dr. K, Willow and I did the regular circular route:  up the steep mountain behind the cabin, southwest along the crest peak trail we created, and then down a series of switchbacks worn over the years by deer and elk, many of whom we've seen during the past decade.  After the trek Dr. K and I drove down to Alamogordo to dump garbage, get groceries at Lowe's Signature Market, fill up Red the CR-V and head back up the mountain to Willow who was waiting patiently in the cabin.  P.S.  the female Northern Flicker IS a new woodpecker for me.
