I am no expert, but there were three of them all together making a lot of racket and I took the pics in a ten minute time frame. I guess the woodpecker was just a bonus. ;D

Thank you both for the ID. I went and looked at some pics on the web and can see the difference in the Kestrel and Merlin. So I guess there are Kestrels in my neighborhood. 8)

Yep it is a Northern Flicker next to the American Kestrel or Merlin. Looks more like a Kestrel to me because of the darker mustache it has.
