Hi All— I only band a few sapsuckers here in Northfield every year. On Wednesday I caught a female with a few crimson feathers in her white throat. Although I have never seen this before in a female sapsucker, Pyle’s Identification guide assures me that female Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers do occasionally sport a few red throat feathers.
