Cobirders,
I went to Grandview Cemetery in Fort Collins over my lunch period today to try and see if some of the Red Crossbills have settled in there. I did not see a Crossbill, but found a late immature Red-Naped Sapsucker. It was flying from tree to tree at the north-west corner of section 8 and north-east corner of section 1. It would land on a tree for only 3-4 seconds and would then fly to another. It is molting into adult plumage on the wings and lower back. It is already showing the yellow in the breast and lower belly. I could see that the black line separating the throat from the side of the face was incomplete. I could not discern any red on the nape.
