This is the 4th Lewis's Woodpecker to be found in Minnesota (1974-74, 1992, 1994, and now 2013). We've also had 3 Williamson's Sapsuckers in the state, putting us at 12 species in all.

That would put us at 11. I've had 7 species (downy, hairy, red-bellied, red-headed, flicker, sapsucker, pileated) in my yard.
