Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, Common Starling (Sphyrapicus varius, Sturnus vulgaris)

I spread peanut butter on the trunks of this small maple. The bark is smooth and birds like starlings and Blue Jays can't cling to it and cobble at their leisure. However woodpeckers can. The Starlings and Jays have to hover for a bite, so you often end up seeing a scene like this.
