Drilling is My Task.

Early afternoon on my magnolia tree, I have seen a Red-breasted Sapsucker a few times.   This time it came and started drilling onto the magnolia tree.

Can you see the drilled holes going around the tree trunk?  Was the bird drinking the sap or eating the bugs below the bark?

As you can see, the light is not ideal for a photo shooting.  The bird likes to come here when the sun is behind the other trees to hide him better.

"I have made all these holes!"

"I am stuck close to the tree so that you can not see me well."
