I got some good photos of the female Yellow-bellied and male Red-naped Sapsuckers I found at the Abbey a week ago (but I have been behind). I now have posted them on my blog at http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com including some pretty interesting views.
In the past week I also found fresh sap wells on one pine tree in Rouse Park in Canon City as well as in a pine tree at a private residence about a mile from that park. I suspect that one of the Abbey sapsuckers have been foraging in these trees--the Abbey is maybe 1.5-2 miles away from these trees (as the sapsucker flies). In past years I have seen similar limited fresh sap wells made by sapsuckers that apparently have traveled to these areas to forage. I have also found fresh sap wells in the pine trees in Lions Park in Florence, a location that has hosted sapsuckers in the past, but have not seen the bird.
