[EBB Sightings] Tilden sapsucker

I refound the sapsucker first seen yesterday along the Loop Road in  
the Tilden Nature Area, in the same tree. This is the largest  
eucalyptus just NW of the Loop Road/Sylvan Trail intersection. The  
bird was less cooperative today, working holes higher in the tree and  
in heavier foliage. And it disappeared shortly after it was first  
seen. However, the sides of the extensively red throat appear bordered  
essentially entirely by white, rather than framed in black. I believe  
this is a strong indication that it is a Red-naped Sapsucker.

Nonetheless, further observations would be welcome!!
