Video starring a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
This video was shot in our backyard nature preserve. It is over 2 minutes long but shows a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker drilling holes and drinking out of them in our birch tree. Enjoy and please share with others!

Background noise includes: Dark-eyed Junco, House Sparrow, Northern Cardinal, Brown-headed Cowbird, American Goldfinch, and our old 13-yr old Golden-retriever (clomping around the house)
To promote bird conservation through conservation marketing. By showing people the joys of birding, we hope to bring people and nature together, instead of at odds.

Great video! I like how he hops around to drill more holes
Wonderful!!! I only see these birds about once a year. They’re sooooooooo beautiful!
I enjoyed watching him “work” the tree in this video! They are on my wish list to view in Michigan.

Love your video of this sapsucker and not sure if you heard but flickr now offers videos also!
Great use of the video! How nice to see the sapsucker at work. I’ve only seen him once or twice but never working to get the sap like this. Thanks for sharing!
Great video capture! I try to get videos too and know what a nice job you did to get that footage!
