Birds Observed at Our Pleasant Hill, Oregon Home Red-breasted Sapsucker
Location in Oregon
Sphyrapicus Varius - Cousin of the Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, the Red Breasted Sapsucker occur on the Pacific slope. Sapsuckers tap distinctive rhythms, but do not drum. They drill parallel rows of small holes in live trees, then return to feed on sap and small insects. They love the Douglas firs in our pasture and are often seen going up the trees. |
