Red-napped Sapsucker


The Red-napped Sapsucker is found throughout most of the Western States interior. In Oregon, the Cascade range is basically the farthest west they go, being replaced by the Red-breasted Sapsucker further west and to the coast. Where they overlap they occasionally interbreed so it can be a challenge to ID them in our county. They drill, maintain, and defend sap-wells throughout their territory and will supplement with insects in the summertime.
