While watching my feeders this morning I also got to watch a yellow-bellied
sapsucker developing some new feeding holes. It was working two 3” limbs about
4’ apart from each other. It would work on a new hole on a limb while
occasionally reaching back to adjacent holes for sap. It would work one limb
and then hop over and repeat the process on the other limb. With my scope I
could see the sap droplets and see them disappear as he fed. At one point he
flew off a little ways to chase a downy away. When he came back to his work
area he was soon chased away by a red-bellied which then fed on the sap from
holes in both limbs.
