Red-naped Sapsucker at the Abbey


I spotted a Red-naped Sapsucker 4 days ago at the Abbey when it chased off a Williamson's that was feeding on one of their pine trees. I didn't get to see it well enough to tell it's gender but I photographed this Red-naped there today and it is a male. It was feeding on one of the diverse species of deciduous trees on the Abbey's grounds. Not sure if it is just stopping over to feed during migration or if it is an early 'wintering sapsucker' that stay in Canon City usually from Oct to late winter. SeEtta
