Three-toed woodpecker draws birdwatchers to Elkhart Kansas
AP reports a three-toed woodpecker spotted near Elkhart on the Kansas Oklahoma border draws visitors from Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. Wichita watchers describe the male bird about robin size with a yellow crown and unusually close behavior, while experts speculate why it wandered south from Canada's habitat. The bird's current location remains uncertain after early this week.
