I saw a new bird at (near) home today.  I am pretty sure it was a
Northern Flicker.  I thought I had seen it before but didn't get a good
look the first time.  But I got a good look today and it had the
distinctive spotted breast and black throat and pointy dagger-like tail
feathers along with the red spot on its head.  I didnt get a good look
at the head otherwise.

This was just south of the Brown Family Environmental Center at Kenyon
College.  Speaking of which I took a nice Sunday (Jan 31st) walk along
their river trail and saw the following:

2 Red-bellied Woodpecker
4 Downy Woodpecker
1 Pileated Woodpecker
6 Black-capped Chickadee
4 Tufted Titmouse
1 Brown Creeper
6 Eastern Bluebird
2 American Robin
X Dark-eyed Junco
6 Northern Cardinal
6 American Goldfinch
