Coincidentally. I've been watching my own backyard regularly since March
16. On April 8 I saw my first Hairy, and now 2. Its absence was
conspicuous. My own sense is that they have generally been much scarcer the
past few years overall in my own backyard. Before that I always saw one or
two whenever I looked.

Subject: [MDBirding] Hairy Woodpecker in Silver Spring
Today we had a male Hairy Woodpecker at our suet feeder. We used to see him
more frequently in other years. But one day last week and today are the
first times I've seen him all year. I don't notice many listings for "Hairy
Woodpeckers" on birders lists for what they have seen on their walks. Are
they down in numbers or are birders recording just more interesting birds in
their lists?
