I was standing on my back deck this morning when this sapsucker (a female, I think) landed in a tree right in front of me. I thought it was just another hairy woodpecker, but then did a double take when I saw the white wing bar.The first of this bird I have ever seen!! Before I could do anything the bird flew to the top of a nearby power pole, where it started scanning around for bugs. I had a terrible time trying to get a decent shot against the bright sky with my point and shoot, and this is the best I could manage with full optical zoom and some digital.. Not all that great, but since it's another lifer for me, I decided to post it.
