Day 240: Red-naped Sapsucker

The Red-naped Sapsucker is a medium-sized woodpecker that breeds in mixed forests in the Rocky Mountains and Great Basin areas of North America. Adults have a black head with a red forehead, white stripes, and a red spot on the neck. The Red-naped Sapsucker used to be considered a subspecies of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, which we have here in Maryland.
