thanks... the locals view these as pests - they drill holes in the houses' siding to hide a nut!

Dang, you can buy a converter for the Canon and use FD lenses instead, cheaper + in some cases better quality.
That's what I do with my Canon.Β Β

I don't have a book on birds. I did manage to find it online after looking at pictures of "small woodpeckers."

bird books are kinda lame.Β  IfΒ  a person doesn't know what it is, how do you look it up?

One could go through the whole book page-by-page and hope they come across what they are looking for?
But that could be painstakingly long though...
