Red-breasted Sapsucker - Milner, BC
A great find for all of us on the Bird Count, My partner and I are the team for the most North East section of the Christmas Bird Count for Surrey/White Rock/Langley and found this guy. On one of the country roads in Langley, this apple tree had more than fruit hanging in it. Another find for this woodpecker of the west coast was an apple to keep it fed on the cold days when sap just doesn't flow. Red-breasted Sapsuckers are the one sapsucker found here year round leaving the drier climates to the Red-naped and Williamson Sapsuckers. east and north of Vancouver.
