  1. Thanks Laurence.

    Sifting through photos, that sapsucker appears a Red-naped X Red-breasted hybrid.

    This bird certainly hasn't been at Post Park this whole winter. Also, we did not see it last week.

    Seem's a bit off course but an interesting learning experience. We had some full days of fierce western winds.

    There are MANY Vermilion Flycatchers at Post Park now.
