red-breasted sapsucker
Sphyrapicus ruber
The red-breasted sapsucker woodpecker is a medium-sized bird from the woodpecker family. It lives in forests of the western part of North America and feeds on tree sap, which it obtains using special holes in the bark.
The red-breasted sapsucker woodpecker differs from other woodpeckers by regularly feeding on sap from living trees and making special holes for this. It is important for the forest because its holes are used by other animals, and eating insects helps keep trees healthy.
