I was just standing in my backyard (77th and Flint) talking on the phone with 
my son, when suddenly a Ladder-backed Woodpecker landed on our Redbud snag 
about two feet away.

 

There was no doubt about the ID – I raised one last year from a nestling and 
later released it in our backyard.

 

Two other Ladder backs actually came to ‘visit’ during the time mine was 
hardening off in a cage -  pre-release - out back and the pair was seen in our 
yard more than once.
