Spring is slow to arrive in Maine but here is a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker to ease the wait. I can hear it pounding away at various places around the property, especially the telephone pole. Seems to love that spot. Here it's on another favorite head banging spot, a garden fence post. It was unconcerned with my presence as I was moving firewood close by, perhaps 15 feet (4.6 meters).

Knocking Seven Bells
Territorial behaviour of Sapsuckers in spring. Our garden this morning is caught between two Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers raising a racket by knocking seven bells out of metal downpipes on neighbours' houses. It is quite remarkable the volume they can create as they compete back and forth. Please follow this link ...

One of the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers came back around noon to visit the garden pond. A couple of days ago there were two together - fresh back from the south at the leading edge of Spring migration.

A red breasted sapsucker hangs from the side of a mossy tree.
Trying to work on my colored pencil skills with my new polychromos set. Second image is reference photo I took last week.
