Red-Breasted Sapsucker

DdesertDale took this fine looking photo at Lobdell.

The Red-Breasted Sapsucker , as you can see, is very colorful.   It is found in the Pacific Northwest.  Their bodies and wings are like other sapsuckers .  They may interbreed with Their cousins, the Yellow-bellied or Red-naped sapsuckers.
In the winter they may move south or into lowlands.  Their nest are high, may be 50-60 or more above the ground.
