Video of red-breasted sapsucker feeding
The bird in the photos recently returned after being away most of the winter. The holes in this oak tree had sealed themselves over and were beginning to heal when the bird returned. He immediately opened up the holes again and let the sap flow. He spends quite a large portion of his day clinging to this tree and eating from the wells he has pecked out.
