Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Louisville

[Paula Hansley]

Birders—

I went out to shovel and heard a familiar call, the “mew” call of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker coming from a ponderosa west of my house.  I grabbed my camera and crept through the snow around my house only to have a Cooper’s Hawk fly over my head.  

I could not find the sapsucker; I just hope the Hawk didn’t catch it.  I’ll keep watching….

It gave the mew call several times .  FYI:  I’ve banded over 70 Williamson’s Sapsuckers and few Red-naped.

My ex-husband did his Ph.D. Thesis on the Williamson’s.  I grew up with the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in Ohio.
