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. Carole Babyak, Trumbull Co.
