Yb Sapsuckers (Prowers & Larimer)

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

On Dec 12 I had a young male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at the north end of Willow Creek Park in Lamar (Prowers). The bird was in the southernmost pine of those in the northwestern part of the park just inside the park along Parkview Street. Fresh sap wells indicate it is probably spending time in several pines surrounding the outhouse building at that north end of the park. This general area has a sapsucker most winters.

I also had a sapsucker, probably an adult male, out in pines in the nw corner of City Park Nine golf course just s of Grandview Cem in Fort Collins (Larimer) on Dec 9. This is probably the same individual seen in early November within the cemetery.
