The last fruits of our Cleveland Pear tree are hastily being taken by nearby birds and squirrels.  I watched this female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker enjoy a few the other day...

| She picked the most shriveled ones dangling between the ripe ones |

| The fruits closest to the tree have already been taken | 
|  | 
| so it can be a challenge to reach the tiny fruits on the farthest twigs |

| 360 degree head turn |

| When she tired of the fruits, she pecked around in the tree trunk for a while | 
It's been a while since I've regularly posted here on my nature blog.  I've been working on a genealogy project and book for my Dad so that has consumed much of my time.  I hope everyone is doing well.  Thank you for stopping in.  Have a wonderful weekend!
 
Hello, pretty photo of your woodie. Happy weekend to you!
