[Birdnet] Bryce American Three-toed Woodpecker

[JOEL and KATHY BEYER]

Kathy and I have done the Breeding Bird Survey for the USGS in Bryce Canyon since 2004, and other than in 2006, we have counted at least 2 Three-toed Woodpeckers each year.  When we took over the BBS route the ATTW was on the list of birds seen on previous counts, so we had no idea that the bird was "unconfirmed", or required documentation.  In fact, we were rather surprised not to see one in 2006.

Photographed
the bird this morning; unless I am badly wrong on the identification,
according to Northern Colorado Plateau Network (National Park Service)
data this is a first documented record for Bryce Canyon National Park
(listed as "unconfirmed" in the park  http://tinyurl.com/p5pr6k ).
