Yesterday I found a female Williamson's Sapsucker drilling sap wells in 2 juniper and 1 pinyon pine tree in Red Canyon Park about 10 miles north of Canon City. Previously I have seen and posted about the hundreds of old sap wells I have seen in the trees in this pinyon-juniper habitat over the years but never finding any sapsucker there though I have birded in spring, summer and fall. Though 1 bird does not confirm that sapsuckers are overwintering in this park it seems pretty likely. I did get several very good photos of the bird and several of the sap wells and tree in which she was working that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog <http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/>.
