1955 sapsucker given due credit by art briggsjude maple syrup with all of its traditional flavor and goodness is now being harvested and pro cessed wherever these symbo lic trees are found growing across the county and while the popularity of this original pancake topping in creases the critter probably most responsible for this natu ral delicacy flits nonchalantly around apparently unimpress ed with all the activity taking place in its preferred woodlot whenever and wherever man discovered the food value of ma ple sap we are not entirely cer tain however you can be assured that the actions of the yellowbellied sapsucker had a lot to do with it its habit of chiselling little wells in tree trunks to collect the flowing sap must have attracted mans attention even in the ear liest of times and if its presence at these sweetgummed trees was not noticed then the results of its drilling most certainly were maple trees for example have been found with the trunks and surrounding ground saturated by this freshflowing liquid all a result of the sapsuckers tap ping although it would appear such sapletting might damage the tree permanently most seem able to stop the flow and survive the yellowbellied sapsucker our common species picks on other varieties of trees as well as maples in fact any smooth barked kind such as apple or cherry may become its base of operations occasionally this sweet- toothed carpenter chooses an evergreen whose thick gummy sap gives it food of a different variety no matter what tree type is chosen however the procee- dure is always the same the sapsucker makes a series of holes around the tree trunk then sits patiently till the oozing syrup fills these small cavities at such times these bark clinging birds may be approached quite closely as they hang dozing on the trunk in the spring sunshine insects such as ants are often attracted to the fresh sap and these too are relished by our tip pling member of the woodpeck er family actualy a diet of sap alone would be detrimental to the bird so its tapping esca pades are utilized as sup plementary tune ups so well has it developed this ancient art that it knows which individual tree in a grove or orchard for example provides the best tasting juice and to these favorites the sapsucker returns each year if these birds were as numer ous as starlings fruit tree own ers would have a real problem but in natures overall plan the sapsucker is spread out pretty thinly then too later in the spring hummingbirds welcome this sweet treat when early blos soms are a bit hard to come by watch for this mediumsized woodpecker in your neighbor- hood during the next month or so unlike the similar sized hairy or the smaller downy woodpecker the sapsuckers red patches are on the forehead and under the chin and if you want to have a real- j ly close look try tapping your knuckles on a nearby tree if its like the ones ive seen it will come hopping right over to in vestigate
