Yellow-bellied sapsucker
It must be November, because my yellow-bellied sapsuckers are back. I only see them, a pair, during migration time, two weeks in April and again in November. I'll have to keep trying to get a shot I like of both though; she shows up before dawn and he just before sunset. I don't know what they...- Barbie Heid

Male, Yellow-bellied sapsucker

Why they call me Yellow-bellied
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are fairly small woodpeckers with stout, straight bills. The long wings extend about halfway to the tip of the stiff, pointed tail at rest. Often, sapsuckers hold their crown feathers up to form a peak at the back of the head.- KC Foggin

Chin-up time
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker getting some exercise in while it's snatching the seedlings on the branch. Males tend to arrive on breeding grounds before females. Courtship displays include pointing bill up to show off colored throat patch- KC Foggin

Yellow Bellied Sapsucker Female
Was on my back deck watching this female (she was totally unconcerned with me) when she suddenly crouched down like this and went still. Then I noticed all the birds had disappeared from the yard. She was like this for several moments, then seemed to relax and go back to business. We have...- wonderview

I have some of these woodpeckers that seem to be setting up housekeeping nearby. Both males and females are in the yard daily. And of course I can't ignore them with the camera.- wonderview
