Sphyrapicus nuchalis
This parent was feeding the young, then she would swoop in and clean out the nest (wings and other leftovers) and then she would
go hunt for food again. There is no rest for parents in the bird world. I found this nest at Brighton, UT © Carol Davis, 7-13-2008
The Red-naped Sapsucker had two rows of white down its back as evidenced
in this photo taken at Garr Ranch. © Carol Davis 10-10-2005
