Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (juvenile)
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers make two kinds of holes in trees to harvest sap. Round holes like these extend deep into the three and are not enlarged. The sapsucker inserts its bill into the hole to probe for sap. Rectangular holes are shallower, and must be maintained continually for the sap to flow. The birds then lick the sap from these holes, and eats the cambium of the tree as well. New holes are made in line with old holes, or in a new line above the old.
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers have been found drilling sapwells in more than 1,000 different species of trees though they prefer birches and maples.
