THIS is what the #RedBreastedSapsucker looks like (that I TRIED to capture below).
#RedBreastedSapsucker Drilling Holes
Worldβs worst video as I could not see (looking into the sun) & was trying to follow the pecking sounds. There are a couple of glimpses of the red (but it is not the correct shade)
I will follow with a great video by a bird expert.

Only a few seconds on the tree, but long enough to capture a red-breasted sapsucker at Beaver Lake.

Red breasted sapsucker
gorges on cherries in the cherry tree in Chimacum. Say that fast three times! I love how the red of this woodpecker's noggin is in conversation with those ripe red cherries.

A terrible photo of a Red-breasted Sapsucker eating a salmonberry. I think maybe immature, but I can't say why I think that beyond something about its beak maybe?
TEEENY MOTH. Likely ππ³π°π΅π°π₯π¦ππ΅π°π΅π¦ π’ππ£πͺπ₯πΆππ’. So smol.
My old friend from yesterday! ππ’π³π―π’π΄π΄πͺπΆπ΄ π€ππ°π₯πͺπΆπ΄ in all its glory. Peep the teeny orange spot on the underwing!
Dog Vomit Slime Mold. I mean, who doesn't love this beauty of an organism? I think it looks more like neon snot than dog vomit, but no one asked me, hah.
I went on a 4.5 hour hike today, solo. It was fucking glorious. I may do it again tomorrow.

A (likely) male red-breasted sapsucker on a fence with a metal grid. He's seen in 3/4 profile, with a pointy beak, a really red head and breast, with white stripes on black wings. He's really cute.
Saw this #bird today, a #redbreastedsapsucker. I don't think he should be pecking at the metal bits of the fence, though....

A Red-Breasted Sapsuckerβ which sounds like an expletive Yosemite Sam would yell after shooting himself in the foot, reaching for his six gun.
It is in fact a #woodpecker, and he has been going to town on this tree in my backyard

Two male Pileated Woodpeckers having some sort of dispute. A third individual was heard nearby, maybe a female.

Belted Kingfisher overlooking the ocean water below, ready to strike at the nearest fish.
Black Oystercatcher with a clam. Their archenemy, a Glaucous-winged Gull, is not far behind.
Some birds that are not gulls.
