Bird Ramblings - Sapsucker

One of the birds that we consistently keep an eye out for here in Dallas Retirement Village is the Red-breasted Sapsucker. This one was photographed on the 12th of February at its usual location on Tilgner Avenue. It is actually the most common member of the Woodpecker Family to be seen here in Dallas Retirement Village. However, it is only a seasonal visitor from September through April. Presumably, from May through August they are off somewhere busy with nesting in a location that has older trees appropriate for making a cavity nest. The bottom line is that if you want to see them here this season, it needs to be in the next two months.
