Title: Tree Huggers
Post by: Shortsighted on April 04, 2025, 03:01:19 PM
Brown creepers are starting to show up, but not in big numbers.  I saw only one this morning along with its tree hugger cousin the nuthatch.  I guess the sapsuckers are part of that club too.

Yellow-bellied sapsucker ... note how well its back blends in with the tree's bark.  The greenish-yellow on the woodpecker even matches the growth of mossy patches on the bark.  Astonishingly well-suited in its camo cloak.
