[SBB] Y-B Sapsucker, Tricolored Blackbirds (pics)



Title: Y-B Sapsucker, Tricolored Blackbirds (pics)

Sunday 2/4/07, at 8:00AM the YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER was in the tamarisks between Ed Levin Park and Calaveras Blvd.

A record shot is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/30419272@N00/

Another pic which I did not upload shows only an indisctinct black bib, which would indicate a 1st winter male?

Two RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKERs, and a DOWNY WOODPECKER were in the same trees.

Later at around 9:30AM in ARZINO RANCH, west of the Jubliee Church was a large mixed flock of Blackbirds and Starlings feeding on the ground, occassionaly flying up into the trees across Nortech Pkwy. I would hazard that pehaps 25% of the males were TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDs if not more. Most were BICOLORED RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDs but also included a few with yellow borders to the red shoulder patch. A shot of a TRICOLORED and a record shot of a TRICOLORED and BICOLORED together is also at http://www.flickr.com/photos/30419272@N00/
