Sphyrapicus varius
While sap is not the only thing yellow bellies eat, it accounts for a significant proportion of their diet, and the majority of their foraging time is spent creating, maintaining, inspecting, and feeding from sap wells.
Yellow-belly sapsuckers are omnivores, and like their namesake, sapsuckers eat, live and breathe sap.
These amazing birds use multiple calls to communicate with each other.
