Description
While looking at robins who love the winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata ‘Sparkleberry’) in my front yard, I spotted a yellow-bellied sapsucker perched on the bush, a rare site on this bush here! At the same time, there was a red-bellied woodpecker high up in my neighbor’s tree across the street.

The yellow belly is usually not this prominent and visible …but then… we usually don’t see them on a bush either. Very nice!!
Hi Laura,
Your picture is beautiful. Glad you joined the contest. It is nice way to learn about birds throughout the United States an Canada and photography too.

Thank you Marilyn and Paul for the nice comments. I was trying to photograph the robins on the bush (which is a more common occurrence) and then this guy came along. Luckily I was perched at my window in continuous shooting mode. Such a wonderful surprise!
