My first Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at the feeder. I've had them in the trees in my front yard and back yard but I've never seen one at the feeder....until now. I was thrilled!

Awesome photo! We had one show up at the feeders late last winter. It was the first time I'd seen one in person. I didn't get any shots as good as this one, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! This reminds me that I best fill the bird feeders today!!
