Shy Visitor: Call for Photos!

Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers occasionally visit suet feeders

Call for Photos!

This male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is an occasional visitor to our feeders, but is so wary that I have rarely caught him in the act. To find out more about his interesting feeding habits, check out https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yellow-bellied_Sapsucker/overview

Who is visiting you this snowy week? Wings, hooves or paws, send in a photo and a bit about your sighting! Send JPG, GIF of PNG format photos and your written content in a Word document via email to charlottehubbard7@gmail.com .
