Don't see these guys very often and when I do they are always moving. This one sat on the side of the tree most of the afternoon and looked like he was sucking the sap (I know birds don't suck). Now I'm worried about the tree because these guys are insect eaters. -?

The photos are a huge crop and noisy because he was about 60 feet away.
