Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Sphyrapicus varius

Field Notes
Description:
This female woodpecker is overwinter in my city. First time I've ever seen one. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is the only woodpecker in eastern North America that is completely migratory. Although a few individuals remain throughout much of the winter in the southern part of the breeding range, most head farther south, going as far south as Panama. Females tend to migrate farther south than do males.
Habitat:
Park in the city.
