Female Williamson's Sapsucker in Canon City

This is the female Williamson's Sapsucker I found last week working a pine tree in front of a local elementary school (please note that anytime one is going to do birding near a school they need to check into the office so the staff do not become alarmed and possibly call the police). I like the view of the feet and nails in the top pic, which also shows a little of the yellow colored belly found on these sapsuckers.
I cropped the bottom pic to show off the plumage detail. The feathers lie at various angles to provide the interesting pattern on these birds. One more pic above. SeEtta
