Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Angela -

Up here in the Lansing area we sometimes find Y-b Sapsucker on the Christmas 
Bird Counts - often at feeders.  We have had them stay through the winter 
several times.  I've never never been lucky enough to have one visit my feeders, 
but I usually see at least one in our yard during migration.

They routinely winter in the SW part of the state and probably in other 
southern counties as well.  Again, the depend on feeders - at least until the sap 
starts running again.  

We have had them breed in our area once or twice as well.  They favor stands 
of aspen, which becomes uncommon here in the south of Michigan.

I'm curious to know if your bird will stay at your feeder.

Take care.   - Doug McWhirter
