Is a yellow-bellied Sapsucker a woodpecker?
The yellow-bellied Sapsucker makes holes in trees to collect sap. Once it leaves the hole other birds, bats, and even porcupines like to get the leftover sap from the hole. The yellow-bellied Sapsucker uses things like street signs and metal chimneys to tap at and let other birds know that this is its territory. The bird suffers no ill effects from whacking its beak against the metal. In fact, it will return day after day (to the misery of the humans perhaps sleeping near the tap-tapping) to the same metal to pound out its territory code.
