Yellow-bellied and 3 Williamson's Sapsuckers in Canon City, 3 Common Loons & latish Osprey at Trinidad Lake

[SeEttaM .]

On my way back from an extended trip to New Mexico Sunday I stopped at Trinidad Lake where I saw a latish Osprey, several good sized flocks (75 or so birds each) of Pine Siskins and 4 Common Loons actively diving for food. I got several good photos of these loons in autumn transitional plumage (thus Autumn Loons) with more photos of them on my Birds and Nature blog.

I birded around Canon City today and found a male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in a private yard and 3 Williamson's Sapsuckers.  I have a single photo of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and a couple of one of the Williamson's on my blog.  More later.

(If you scroll down my blog there are a number of photos from New Mexico including a rare sighting of a Harris's Hawk at Bosque del Apache NWR and a rare white crane identified by NWR as leucistic)
