Daily Postcard: Red-naped Sapsucker Sips Sap From Tree On Barranca Mesa

Daily Postcard: A male Red-naped Sapsucker is spotted clinging to the side of a tree recently at a residence on Barranca Mesa. Red-naped Sapsuckers are industrious woodpeckers with a taste for sugar. They drill neat little rows of holes in aspen, birch and willow to lap up the sugary sap that flows out. The presence of sap wells is a good indication that they are around, but so are their harsh wailing cries and stuttered drumming. Source: allaboutbirds.org. Photo by Selvi Viswanathan
