I had some software and other problems, so haven't posted for a while. Though the Canon City area, as well as most of eastern Colorado has been in a "abnormally dry" (per weather service, I think it's part of continuing drought cycle)period for months which has impacted a number of birds, at least one Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is still here. Actually I saw 2 days ago after trying several times unsuccessfully. This female is exceptionally skittish.
In this pic, the red crown is barely visible but the facial lines are very clear. If you look close there is a drop of sap on the tip of her bill. Also some sap wells,some dripping sap, she has made are also barely visible. SeEtta
