Yellow-bellied sapsucker

The theme of slow and windy yet diverse days continues as we pick up a few extra species right at the end. This young female Yellow-bellied sapsucker is the first one we have banded since 2013. Before then we used to catch them about every other year. This is a highly migratory woodpecker, unlike most other species that are residents year round. They are responsible for the neat rows of holes you can sometimes see in the trunks of trees and palms.
