This is a maturing male juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. This bird’s name always reminds me of cartoon character name calling. The red throat identifies this sapsucker as male. Both sexes of the mature birds have a bold and distinctive red crown. Younger juveniles don’t show any red and have a spotted crown. This bird has a mix of both.
He’s resting on his tail which is common for most woodpeckers. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers breed in Canada and the northern portion of the U.S. from Maine to North Dakota. They spend winters in the southern U.S. allowing me a chance to spot them.
