Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black capped YB Sapsucker
I photographed a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in Brooktondale last summer and after doing some research was surprised to discover how little information there was in the field guides on that variation.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Black capped YB Sapsucker
Good spotting, Donna! Although it's not mentioned in any field guides that I have seen, a black crown occurs in about 20% of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in our area (based on specimens in the Cornell collection).

[cayugabirds-l] Black capped YB Sapsucker
Found at Sapsucker Woods. I went on Linda Orkin's SSW /CBC bird walk this morning. We got several good looks at a YELLOW BELLIED SAPSUCKER with a BLACK cap on top of its head, rather than a reddish cap. It had all the other marks of a mature bird. No red at all. In woods south of main pond. Did not find Ken's White Eyed Vireo, altho we did find Ken right after he saw the Vireo.
