Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker by Maruri
The Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker is prevalent (but quiet, retiring, and easily overlooked) in woods and orchards. It is easily identified by its narrow longitudinal wing stripe and finely mottled back. Sapsuckers tap in distinctive rhythms (2 or 3 series/min.), but do not drum. They drill parallel rows of small holes in live trees, then return to feed on sap and small insects. Calls are weak.
The Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker is from the Premier Bird Collection by Maruri. Exquisitely detailed colorful birds of nature in cold cast porcelain (resin). Each figurine comes with a descriptive information card and certificate of authenticity. All birds come mounted on a wood base.
