This morning I found a female Williamson's Sapsucker at Lakeside Cemetery in Canon City. This is another location that usually hosts wintering sapsuckers and I had found fresh sapwells in several pine trees earlier this week. I am am unsure if this is another sapsucker or possibly the one I found at Centennial Park as I couldn't find any at that location this morning and these location are only about a mile (by flight) apart. In previous years it has appeared that some sapsuckers were feeding at more than one location.
Also Rich Miller told me he had seen a female Williamson's Sapsucker at Rouse Park and he wondered if that might be the same bird as I found at The Abbey. Again these locations are only about a mile apart and I have in past years thought that sapsuckers have foraged at both. There are also several more locations on private property that I have found fresh sap wells in previous years but the birds appeared to be moving from the main feeding areas at The Abbey, Centennial Park or Lakeside Cemetery to supplement their food sources.
