A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) was walking up a tree branch in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on January 25, 2025. These birds engineer their environment to make food easier to find by drilling horizontal rows of small holes in trees so that the sap will trap insects which they can come back and eat later.

A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) was on a pecan (Carya illinoinensis) tree in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on January 25, 2025. These woodpeckers drill horizontal rows of small holes in the wood. The tree sap in the holes traps insects which the bird comes back to eat later.

A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) was standing on the edge of a concrete birdbath in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on December 23, 2024. The bird bath is heated and is the only source of not frozen water for some distance resulting in many visitors.
One of my favorite birds, so I kept the high ISO photo
