Yellow Bellied Sapsucker & a Lone Wild Turkey

Pretty sure I saw a yellow-bellied sapsucker this afternoon back in the woods by the river. It might have been a young flicker, though. I’ve never seen a sapsucker around here & flickers are common. Our solitary wild turkey was back again, cleaning up under the feeder. I wonder if it’s a female with a nest nearby? [More wild turkey information here.]

    “Yellow-bellied sapsucker”

    One of my favorite bird names. It’s so wonderfully descriptive.

    Yeah, & I’m pretty sure that Bugs Bunny uses it as an insult in an old cartoon, which may be the real origin of my interest in birds.
