Yellow Bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius)

Taken in mid June. This scared me to death. I thought this poor bird had hit one of our windows. It took me a few moments to realize she was just sun bathing. She looked very worn out and bedraggled from caring for young, so she deserved a few minutes to herself.

Indeed she did Bill.

That's a tremendous image that my friend. Many thanks for showing it to us my friend.
 
Oh yes, I can see why you were worried, Bill! She is enjoying the sunshine in your portrait.

I'm assuming this is the Black-headed variety. One I've never seen and a great image Bill!
