Sphyrapicus nuchalis


Description:

A male Red-Naped Sapsucker pecking away at a Salt Cedar at the edge of Peck's Lake [Arizona]. He worked the tree for 20 minutes or so while I was recording Coots. Many years ago, he was known as Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, now this western bird has earned his own species designation.
