Meet the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius)! This woodpecker has a wide range across North America and is known for its appetite for sap. The clever bird excavates spots in the surface of trees, known as “sap wells,” where liquid that drips from higher up in the tree gathers for convenient consumption. It doesn’t “set it and forget it” either; this bird works the wells to ensure their sap-collecting efficiency and also protects them from competitors, including fellow sapsuckers.

"Although its name sounds like a cartoonist's invention, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker does exist. This species is common in the north and east, and is replaced by close relatives in the west. Quiet in winter, it becomes noisy in spring, with cat-like calls and staccato drumming."

Song of the Sapsucker

“Nature’s Drummer: The yellow-bellied sapsucker strikes a harmonious pose amidst the forest green.” - Copilot

This yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) stopped by one day weeks ago. Unfortunately, I haven't seen him since.

As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at: https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com

Go there and take a look. Prints are for sale along with other doodads and I suppose it is kind of a business for me. But it's the kind of business where I don't care whether I sale anything or not. If you want something, by all means you are welcome to make a purchase. But I just want you to visit and maybe mark your favorites or leave a comment. Cheers 😄

Poor fella was sitting dazed on the sidewalk, so I got him some sugar water and deposited him on a nearby tree. If he's still there later I'm gonna do more to nurse him back to health

What is yellow belly sap? 😆

This is a Yellow-bellied Sap Sucker (Sphyrapicus varius).

"The sapwells made by Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers attract hummingbirds, which also feed off the sap flowing from the tree. In some parts of Canada, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds rely so much on sapwells that they time their spring migration with the arrival of sapsuckers. Other birds as well as bats and porcupines also visit sapsucker sapwells." - allaboutybirds.org
