It has been almost a year since I saw a yellow-bellied sapsucker at one of our feeders. Happy to see one again! I have a few photos of them posted last year in January and February of 2024. This one is a male. The females have a white throat.
Gorgeous colors again! I still have not gone down the slippery slope of pursuing birds with a camera, but then, the longest lens I have for my SLR is 60mm, which isn’t nearly long enough to get close enough.
