Working the sap
This female Yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) was a day later but in the same vicinity as the other two woodies at the Springfield Conservation Nature Center. It was a bright day so I added the 1.4 extender to the big lens. You can see all the holes around the trunk that provides sap for her. This is only the second time I've seen this species, we are on the edge of the non-breeding to migration range.
