AlexHenry Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 San Mateo County, CA, last couple weeks; all at one spot. Not my photos. Not sure if there are 2 or 3 sapsuckers. There is 1 that looks like a pretty pure Red-naped to me, but I think it has been suggested as hybrid. 1 2 3 - most Red-naped-like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalarope713 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I'm not very experienced with sapsucker hybrids, but as for the third picture, the black intrusion into the white supercilium (ie. lack of a complete white supercilium) seems to suggest some amount of Red-breasted genes, although overall it looks pretty good for Red-naped.

Kevin Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I agree with Red-breasted Sapsuckers for 1-2. But I do not know about 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
