Continuing the Woodpecker series with another Sapsucker, the Red-breasted Sapsucker. Their range is more coastal than the Red-napped, and the eastern Cascades is the farthest east of it's normal range in Oregon. As I mentioned, Red-breasted and Red-napped will inter bread where their ranges overlap making ID challenging in Deschutes County. Like all Sapsuckers, they drill and maintain sap wells on various conifer and deciduous trees but tend to prefer conifers. Very striking bird, indeed.
