Some birds have the strangest names, don’t they?
Take a close look at this one:
He is a yellow-bellied sapsucker. Now that’s a strange name, but a logical one when you learn that he drills holes in the trees so he can suck out the nutrient-rich sap. Not only does the sapsucker benefit from the sap, many other birds and insects drink from these wells also. Look closely at the picture, and you can see a faint line of holes in the trunk of the tree. Those are the wells. Birds are truly amazing, aren’t they?
I posted more bird pictures from my morning photo walk on my other blog, if you are interested.
See you soon for another walk here in northeast Ohio.
