This one looks like a straight forward hybrid to me. Red doesn’t
extend very far down the breast, it has a partial black breast
shield, limited red on head/face – really a ‘tweener in all
respects. Very nice photos.

Possible hybrid Sapsucker, but it may also be a
subspecies of RBSA—still working on that. I’d welcome any input
as to species.
First observed yesterday
morning on Banjo Drive, and it is continuing this afternoon at
1:30 p.m. on Banjo Drive (43.5487634, -116.2885002). Today there
are several sap wells on multiple trees along Banjo near this
lat/long. Private property and backyards all around, but the
bird is on common subdivision property and viewed from the
sidewalk along Banjo.
Just saw the hybrid Red-naped Sapsucker X Res-breasted Sapsucker on the tree behind the sprinkler box/lamp post at 4:45. Just at the corner of Banjo and Guitar. I did not have my bins!!!

Thanks Kerry. There’s a little pond just to west of the hwy before reaching Harriman St Pk, up in Island Park. It always has a resident pair of nesting Trumpeters in the Spring. Ruth would always touch base with me to find out when they were on the nest, as we head up that way alot Spring thru Fall. Going to miss that…
