Thursday's Bird Watch

Currently, one of the most interesting and dependable birds to watch at Dallas Retirement Village is the Red-breasted Sapsucker.  There appears to be a pair that reside in a weeping cypress tree on the west-side of Tilgner Ave, almost across from the Maintenance Building.  Several DRV residents have noticed the birds and mentioned to me how much they enjoy watching them go about their job of taking sap from this tree. Although I have recently featured these Sapsuckers in previous Looking Ahead articles, I'd like to emphasize that if you want to see them to get it done in the next few months because come Spring, they will move off to better habitat for nesting.
