'Sucker Fans
A visit to the Veteran's Memorial Park in Sylmar turned out to be super Sapsucker morning for us. In a span of less than two hours we had some good looks (and photographs) of three kinds of sapsuckers: Williamson's, Yellow-bellied and Red-breasted. Now where is the Red-naped when you needed it? :-)

Very nice photos and great to get the 3 kinds in such a short period of time.
Great shots! I have seen all of the sapsuckers except for Williamson's! That shot makes me very jealous!
What a bunch pf Posers :D
I'm with Rob and am a tad envious.
:)
very nice.....I've only seen a yellow-bellied, and I love seeing him. I'd go crazy to be able to see 3 different types in such a short time! Beautiful captures too...
great photos! Sapsuckers always seem to hop around the other side of the tree the second I'm about to take the picture! Really nice photos of these guys!
VERY nice, Bob! What great sightings to see all three of the sapsuckers in one outing. Great shots!
Good lighting and nice background. Beautiful sucker birds. ;)
Nice shots of the Sapsucker Day Bob! The video of the male Williamson's is really nice too. You can see the beautiful yellow belly and red throat on the video really well.
I have to agree with Jill on the hiding behavior of most woodpeckers and sapsuckers when trying to photograph them. They always seem to go around the back side of the tree or stay on the shade side.
Great job catching these guys all in a days work ;-)
nice to see, we have none of these. :)
What luck to get those, lovely shots!
Wow - really late to the party here.
You probably know by know how I feel about woodpeckers & sapsuckers - so it probably goes without saying that I love these pics - great job!!!
A three-sapsucker day sounds like a winning day to me!
