You had a great day! You also saw a barn owl in a natural setting. Any of these birds would make my day great. Nice angle of capture on this red-breasted sapsucker. I still don't have exactly this angle, where you can see the back of the head and neck. This one looks a lot like mine, which is in Los Altos, and some have suggested might be a partial cross. I'm not experienced enough to know one way or another, but the one I photographed does look to me just like this one. --Johanna van de Woestijne, JohannaCalifornia@gmail.com
