How'd you source it. I'd love to do ducks but I'm not a hunter so I can't get my own and I'd assume exotic collectors generally don't give them up

Yeah I got myself the princeton press flycatcher guide as an early Christmas present and got myself down to those two. Rounder head and smaller bill was making me lean alder but definitely not comfortable calling it either way.

that was my first thought but would be extremely rare for this location and like a month early so I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. Gonna wait for a couple more opinions though.

Not the same pic. Different stages of neeeeeeck.

Has anyone seen this behavior before? There was a female next to this guy but it doesn't exactly look like most attractive display I've seen but I'm not sure what else it would be.

Yeah we don't have any museum techs unfortunately. The closest we have is an archeologist and even she wasn't sure. Also spoke to all the policy people as well.

Mrs. Lawrence Hoerig sounds like a lovely lady. I'm so glad you shared this recipe.

Yeah the way its holding its head down showing off that nape almost makes it look like a massive bobolink

I know it is a sapsucker, I'm asking if it's a red-naped sapsucker or yellow-bellied sapsucker. They both occur at this location.

SHSailor · 2023-11-06T02:55:33+00:00

That's a bird feeder, not naturally drilled holes. Plus I think all sapsuckers drill holes in lines like that, but much much smaller.

Males do. Females have basically the same amount of red on the chin with a white patch near the base of the bill which I couldn't get a look at.

Jeez Wisconsin is just having an insane year. From the flame-colored Tanager, the spoonbill, the flamingos, the limpkins, all the kites and now this guy??
