When it comes to appearance, the bird is spotted black and white on its body, while the upper part of the head and neck has noticeable red spots - the underside may have a yellowish shade. They have a span of approximately 14 inches (35 cm) with a body length of 8 inches (20 cm) and a weight of about 1.7 ounces (48 grams). Birds spend winter in the southern areas of the United States and even further south in places like Mexico. In the spring they migrate north and many of them go to Canada. They get the sap by hammering into the trees by means of beaks and creating holes. Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers often return to old holes to get more sap and keep them running. Sometimes the insects are caught in the sap and the birds will eat them and get valuable protein. In a way, the sap almost acts as traps on insects as well as anything else, and this is a common tactic between animals that plunged into trees for the sap.

The typical clutch in the normal reproduction period will be about five eggs. Incubate for about 22 days and a man and a woman help with this process.

As soon as young birds are born, the male bird does more work to keep them alive and feed them than a woman. The chickens are mainly fed insects, and this is quite common in birds because the young manOne hundred need more protein growth.
