[cobirds] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at Grandview Cemetery, Fort Collins (Larimer) on Sunday 10Nov2019

Adult male, flying from tree to tree like freshly-arrived individuals do, mostly in elms, once in big linden, southern section of cemetery, last seen headed for Austrian pine grove just out on City Park Nine golf course midway along south cemetery boundary where they traditionally spend at least some time most winters.  No red or pink on nape, red throat with wide black border.  Pale areas of mid-back light yellow-brown in hue. Seen with Dave Steingraeber about noon.  First of Season (FOS) for me.  A little bit early, usually don't see one until after Thanksgiving or early December.
