Observation details
Hatch-year bird. Spotted by Fianna Wilde almost immediately when we arrived at the location. In overcast skies the bird appeared to be an immature Sapsucker. The bird was found and refound throughout our stay, frequently revisiting the willows along the small creek. Signs of recent drilling were observed. Photos were taken at the time and later in the day when we returned to the park hoping for better viewing conditions. Plumage details discussed on photos.
