Hi All—
I only band a few sapsuckers here in Northfield every year. On Wednesday I
caught a female with a few crimson feathers in her white throat. Although I
have never seen this before in a female sapsucker, Pyle’s Identification
guide assures me that female Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers do occasionally
sport a few red throat feathers.
A photo and a link to the Pyle guide are in today’s blog:
