Canon City Sapsuckers

Finally, two weeks after seeing fresh sap wells in the trees at Centennial Park in Canon City, I found a female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker there today. Canon City and Pueblo have had Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers every winter for several years. The Ross' Goss I had seen in this park in the past week was not present, but there was little open water in the "duck" pond due to really cold temps (13 below zero night before last).

I also found a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in a local cemetery this morning, but it was a male. These are the pics of these sapsuckers with the female on the left and male on the right side of the page.
