I entertain red-bellied and downy's but haven't seen a yellow-bellied sapsucker visit my yard. <BR><BR>I have a nut feeder similar to yours and since I offered it, it's been quite busy.

I've never seen our cat's eyes grow so big (indoor cat) as when she spotted him. Nice mature red-bellied, rich red on the head. Anyway, that was an amazing shot of your sapsucker - with the other customer a blur in the background. Very cool. I may have to think about a peanut feeder!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-5904220515403318512008-03-01T11:34:00.000-05:002008-03-01T11:34:00.000-05:00You have some hungry looking birds out there!

I don't get YBSA at my rural home; too agricultural, not enough trees. <BR><BR>We had a female sapsucker visiting the Bradford pear tree outside the window at our office earlier in the winter, but I haven't seen her lately. I showed my boss' 4 year old daughter the sap wells in the trunk and told her about the bird.<BR><BR>"What is her name?" she asked.<BR><BR>"Yellow-bellied Sapsucker," I said, showing her a picture of a Downy Woodpecker in the junior field guide I keep at work. (The closest thing I had to a sapsucker picture.)<BR><BR>"No, what is her NAME?" she insisted.<BR><BR>"I don't know."<BR><BR>"Then, I will call her Rosie," she announced.<BR><BR>From the mouths of babes, to all the "Rosies" out there.<BR><BR>~Kathi, who will never understand why non-birders find the name "Yellow-bellied Sapsucker" so amusingKatDochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.com
