Great Find by Eric Culbertson. I note in the photos that the bird was in a Gingko tree. Others trying to find sapsuckers might want to stake out this particular species. Like California Pepper trees, Gingko seems to be particularly attractive to Sapsuckers. We had a Gingko in our yard and almost every fall, we got at least one Red-breasted Sapsucker (and in a couple of years, a hybrid), and one Winter, a Red-naped.
