- Comment – Should this photo be added to the article on Velasquez's woodpecker as well? It shows more diagnostic features than the the current photo there (although I do like the fact that the bird is shown feeding in that one). Choliamb (talk) 11:54, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done, thanks Choliamb; I didn't know the article existed! Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:02, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - Charlesjsharp: As it happens, I saw my lifer Velasquez's woodpecker at Copan, within a few hundred yards of the spot where you photographed this one. From the coordinates of the photo, I assume you were staying at the Hacienda San Lucas, which is where my wife and I stayed as well. Choliamb (talk) 14:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - Indeed we were. I climbed inside the tiny children's play hut half way down the lawn and crouched in there waiting for the woodpecker to land on the stump. Very uncomfortable and the day visitors were pointing and laughing (and disturbing the birds). The things we have to do to get close! Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:39, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
