Thursday's Bird Watch

It's always a red-letter day when we get to see the Red-breasted Sapsucker in the weeping cypress tree on Tilgner Ave. here in Dallas Retirement Village.  I took this photo on October 28th. It was busy getting sap out of the sap wells it had drilled in the tree.  If you look closely there is a drop of sap hanging off the tip of its bill.  What I wasn't able to capture with my camera was an Anna's Humming bird which was darting back and forth getting sap from the many sap wells as well.
