Yellow-bellied sapsucker DSC_7497
I usually see these beauties in pairs during spring migration. This one snuck in yesterday and hung out for a bit. I wonder if he will make this area his winter home or if he's just passing through. I read that they are common in my area during the winter so it could happen. It would be such a pleasure to see him during the bird shows throughout the winter.
My little bird visitors sure do make for great pest control. I have no idea what he was eating in oak two. Apparently, that tree was in need of a serious cleaning. Philomena (red-bellied woodpecker) has been cleaning that tree for a couple of weeks now.
Oak two is my favorite oak tree in the yard, I am going to have to trust that the cleaning crew will keep it healthy. I got a glimpse of the black and white warbler yesterday as well. He was assisting with the cleaning of oak two.
Enjoy your day, happy snapping.
