5-30-2016 Red Naped Sapsucker

Be sure to view in Original Size

Just got back from a few days in Plain, Washington. Great
bird watching this time of year. This particular bird is
I think fairly rare this far west.
They bore holes in the bark and come back to drink the sap - hence the name :)

Thanks, Sally - I was lucky the bird flew to this tree while I was watching it.

Most interesting Terry.A great shot of the Sapsucker. The pink blossoms are an added bonus!

Welcome home, Terry. this is a super shot, more so with the colourful background. Most interesting that the birds have to come back later to drink the fruits of their labors.
