Red-breasted Sapsucker, Yes! (Mirada Rd, COS)

[maca...@aol.com]

Four or five of us got a great show around 2:30. The bird was perched about 8' up on the western-most large limb of the cottonwood tree adjacent to the three Austrian pines, & stayed fairly stationary & in plain sight for close to 10 minutes, occasionally preening & stretching, before slipping around to the back side of the limb, and then disappearing back into the Austrians.
