Most of our woodpeckers with which I am familiar sport color combinations of black, white, gray and red in various patterns. Occasionally the gray becomes yellow, as in the Yellow-Bellied Sap Sucker. I'm cheating this year with the camera setup. I removed a screen and raised a storm pane, so I can raise the window sash and have an open shot into the back yard. It becomes a fixed, but comfortable blind, complete with tripod and cable release. However, the field of view is somewhat limited.
