Red-Naped Sapsucker









(addenda: It might be a Redbreasted Sapsucker!) Paddled back to the RipRap...sat awhile...Creek was quiet...took some shots with both cameras of where Bobcat was...good test with that awful lighting....no time tonight to study them....crossed over the Creek and went along the Merced just upstream from Chapel Bridge....where I saw this new..to me...Woodpecker...Sapsucker...not sure what the difference is!!...took pics with both cameras....comparison unfair focus wise...I dont think I had the new camera focused in...size wise it's interesting...the 12x is larger...to be expected...but not by much...well...I'll probably be doing a lot of these side by sides...continued on...took a pic of the Apple Tree by Zeke's Cedar...then over to the Woodpecker Tree...some neat pics of two Acorn Woodpeckers together....then on the way back Doe and One Fawn were at the Apple Tree....dont know how I missed them!....got a neat set of clips...for sometime...and pics with the new camera...a few only...and only the one posted looked all right compositionally...and it's a crop...the Doe was eating fallen Apples...One Fawn tried too...but settled for some Goldenrod...had to pick up or be late for work...just as well...the Green Cucumber had disgorged a passel....quiet they were...but in the way back and forth!!....time was up for this Pocket of Time...and was almost late for work after a hurried walk back over the Creek through the Backyard and to the Cabin...sunny warm and blue...
