I caught this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker drilling holes in a good friend's mailbox this afternoon. Since he can't tell the differnce between a mailbox and a tree, I am assuming he is not a native Vermonter. Probably a migrant from Mass or NH!

Rich,

While this avian specimen may not know the difference between a mail box and a tree he obviously believes in the approval of the postmaster general. I think he must be from the District of Columbia and is obviously happier to bang his head against dryed wood rather than stay there and listen to the windbags. . .
