Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, central Boulder

[Richard Trinkner]

Hi folks,

I found a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker along the bike path on the northwestern edge of the Boulder Community Gardens in central Boulder this evening at 5:45. I believe it to be an immature female, given the pale throat and overall streakiness.  It was flycatching above an Austrian Pine where the bike path meets Hawthorn Ave along the Farmer's Ditch.  I'd welcome any corrections.  See the attached photos.

Cheers,

Richard Trinkner
