Feb 28, 2012 19:25 | #1 This guy was very skittish and wouldn't sit still when he saw me. He kept leaping to the other side of the tree when I tried to take his picture. This is hand held and not very sharp, but I'm sure someone can help me with the ID.
Thanks! Christine ~ My Flickr

Feb 28, 2012 19:39 | #5 Too funny. That is what I originally ID'd him as on my Facebook photo album but then second guessed myself. I should have gone with my instinct! Thanks for confirming it for me. Hope to get a better shot of him. He comes back quite often. Maybe he'll get used to seeing me staring at him! Christine ~ My Flickr

Now I know the difference between Downey and Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker, and the difference between male and female sapsuckers. Good learning experience. Christine ~ My Flickr

Aren't some of the names of birds stupid? I thought we had some bad ones in the UK (e.g. Great tits) but yellow bellied sapsucker? That sounds like an insult
