Red-breasted Sapsucker

I am looking at the possible Red-breasted Sapsucker in Morrison right now from the creek path between Park Ave and the Highway 8 bridge. It's in a Douglas-fir across the creek to the south.

A handful of birders saw and enjoyed the Red-breasted (hybrid?) Sapsucker this afternoon between about 3:00 and 4:00.  It had been seen prior to our arrival, but had been scared off by a squirrel.  It did return shortly after we got there, about 80 south of Bear Creek Ave (Morrison's main drag) on Park Ave, East of the road in a backyard that was visible from the road.  It took off South and uphill, to a tree at Park Ave and Spring St.
