Daily Postcard: Williamson’s Sapsucker On Barranca Mesa

Daily Postcard: A regular visitor to the area this time of year, a male Williamson’s sapsucker is spotted recently on Barranca Mesa. Williamson’s sapsuckers are a strikingly marked woodpecker of western mountains. They may be found nesting in the same aspen groves as Red-naped or Red-breasted sapsuckers, but also occur in pure coniferous forest. Quiet and inconspicuous at most times, although its staccato drumming and nasal mewing calls may be noticeable in spring. Source: audubon.org. Photo by Selvi Viswanathan
