Checking things out! When going for a picnic we decided to get too close to this Red-breasted Sap Sucker’s nesting tree. The ruckus caused by the two adults was enough to make us move to a new place to eat lunch. The nest site was in a long dead alder tree very close to a salt water lagoon.

      Ernst, lucky for them there were two entrances/exits. The other was through a larger hole produced by a much larger branch that is no longer there. She, I am assuming, got a better view of us through this “window”. Posted 5 years ago
