Red-breasted Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber), Pennsylvania Ave. near Paton's House,, Santa Cruz County

This Red-breasted Sapsucker was discovered by Randy Moore on 2 January 2011 and photographed by Michael Todd on 20 February 2011.

Casual transient and winter visitor to Arizona.  A number of reports this year.

Extensively red head and no hint of black breast band which would point to it being a hybrid.
