Habitat:

Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers live in both hardwood and conifer forests up to about 6,500 feet elevation. They often nest in groves of small trees such as aspens, and spend winters in open woodlands.

Notes:

Wasn't really expecting to see this little one at the beach. But there are plenty of wooded areas nearby. Adult Female.
