Red-naped Sapsucker

Look at my new design pattern! Red-naped Sapsucker feeding on an Aspen tree near Ketchum, Idaho

 

"Red-naped Sapsuckers are industrious woodpeckers with a taste for sugar. They drill neat little rows of holes in aspen, birch, and willow to lap up the sugary sap that flows out. The presence of sap wells is a good indication that they are around, but so are their harsh wailing cries and stuttered drumming."
