A blonde Fledged Hairy Woodpecker was flying around my yard today.  An
adult female Hairy Woodpecker was feeding it beef suet.  Feathers that
should have been black were a very light blonde color and white feathers
were a light sandy color.   I noticed it had a spot of red on top of its
head.       The light feathers made it appear to be bigger than the
female.  It was not vocalizing.
