[cobirds] Williamson's and Red-naped Sapsuckers in Canon City

This morning I first found a female Williamson's Sapsucker in the pines at the Abbey in Canon City then saw it be chased off by a Red-naped Sapsucker.  Though I have checked the Lakeside Cemetery today and several times a week since I found the several Williamson's Sapsuckers there and on the CC Riverwalk in late August, I had not seen anymore sapsuckers in Canon City (I did find a Red-naped in the Florence area a week ago) since early Sept.  I have also checked the Abbey a time or two and not found any until today.  I wonder if these are also sapsuckers migrating through or if this is the start of the Canon City wintering sapsucker season.
