Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - Jeffco

[toca...@gmail.com]

I just had what appeared to be a (young?) female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at Norman D Memorial Park in Golden (Jefferson County).

It was actively feeding around the playground area on either side of the small creek, generally spending the last hour or so in the same area.  It was not once seen in any of the pine trees.

Also of note were a pair of Green-backed Lesser Goldfinches collecting nesting material and a singing American Dipper near the parking lot.  

Parking lot for this small park is on the west side of Ford St just north of Texas Street (all north of Hwy 58).  

Video/photos to be posted in eBird report later.

Cheers,
