Red-breasted Sapsucker
Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia
An active and vocal west-coast woodpecker species, red-breasted sapsuckers are dependent on old-growth forests for food and shelter. Apart from providing a place to roost and excavate a nest, evergreen trees are a prime location for drilling sap wells, rows of small, cylindrical bore holes that the woodpecker makes in the tree's trunk in order to allow the sap to flow out. He will visit the tapped trees in a regular rotation to consume the sap, along with any insects that wind up trapped in it. This tree in particular has been peppered with well holes, but it has been long dead by now, and whatever sap remained at the surface has since hardened into globs of yellow resin.
