Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
This male sapsucker has become a regular in my yard recently, taking a liking to a tree right on the edge of my backyard. He's already created a few sap wells, and defends them fiercely from other sapsuckers and smaller birds like kinglets. He's also got a consistent reaction to my arrival, usually flying off, circling the backyard, and returning to the tree on a closer part of the trunk. I've begun to like him, too, so I hope he stays around.
