    Last year I had the chance to observe a couple of yellow-bellied Sapsuckers at work. When they left their feeding site, others would come to feed. There was a red Squirrel, a red-eyed Vireo and a ruby-throated Hummingbird that visited the feeding site. Only the ruby-throated Hummingbird was tolerated at the feeding site when the yellow-bellied Sapsuckers were there.

    We have quite a few woodpeckers in the provincial park where I live and when they are active, they are ALL active. Last week, there was a northern Flicker drumming away on a metal roof  of a bird blind. Very insistant, impossible to miss!

    It has to be the tongue and the different ways in which they are structured, depending on their diet.

    I very much appreciated seeing the Acorn Woodpeckers in action and learning about their social structure. I also appreciated seeing the variety of colours and also learn of the concept of mimicry. Actually, I'm having a great time following this course, thank you so much!

    Amaze by the anatomy, wing structure, tongue structure and the way it functions. Also there basic needs in terms of feeding. Very interesting.

    I see Ruby throated hummingbirds regularly here in Quebec. Last year I drove across Canada to Vancouver and saw Anna, Rufous and Caliope hummingbird. Beautiful!
