Sphyrapicus ruber

My friend Dave Kemp from British Columbia slipped state-side recently and one of the bird photos he took was of this Red-breasted Sapsucker at Coupeville, Puget Sound, Washington State.   The Red-breasted Sapsucker inhabits the west coast of North America, from Alaska down to California.   It won't be seen in Ontario any time soon, so I'll have to head west if I want to see one.
