[EBB Sightings] Red-naped Sapsucker continues at Sunol RW

EBBers:

The adult male Red-naped Sapsucker that Bob Dunn found on January 23 
continued today at 10 am at Sunol Regional Wilderness.  Here are Bob's 
directions:
"Cross the footbridge (near Visitor Center) and turn right. Shortly 
there is a dirt road going up to the left and shortly after a dirt road 
going down to the creek on the right. Then there is a huge tree on the 
right with a single picnic table under it. The sapsucker was in the top 
of the section of tree closest to the trail."

Today the bird was most active in a few-inch high freshly drilled 
section of a small (ca. 3" diameter) limb high in the tree.  Once 
you're beneath the tree's canopy, face the trunk and locate a large, 
low limb that points to your left (south) and forks just where it 
touches the ground.  Looking approximately straight up from that bend 
will put you close to where the bird was working.  It also visited a 
couple of other limbs and trunks while I was there.
