[Tweeters] Red-naped Sapsucker in Twin Lakes

[Hans-Joachim Feddern via Tweeters]

A likely Red-naped Sapsucker - or a hybrid - has been here in Twin
Lakes/Federal Way for the last two days. It has taken a liking to a birch
tree which has been a favorite of local Red-breasted Sapsuckers for many
years. The bird has a red head with a more rosy hape and two white facial
stripes. Its black back with white markings is perfect camouflage on the
birch tree.
The Cackling Goose flock at Treasure Island Park has grown to more than
300.The first four Cackling Geese arrived on September 23rd and the flock
grew daily with more arrivals. The majority are of the smallest minima
subspecies.
I finally saw my first two Golden-crowned Sparrows in the neighborhood
yesterday.

Good Birding!

Hans
