[Douglbirds] Red-naped Sapsucker

[PattyPerron at aol.com]

Saturday we had a "new" bird at our house in the  Pinery.  A female red-naped 
sapsucker  spent the entire day in an old  cottonwood in our backyard.   We 
first noticed her at 7:45 AM and she  was still there at 5:15 PM when we left 
for the evening.  She happily made  numerous holes(very quickly and 
efficiently!) and never left that section of the  tree the entire day.  Pygmy nuthatches, 
flickers, a squirrel and wasps all  checked out the sap that was oozing.
