The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (sphyrapicus varius) is more likely to be seen in Perkasie in the winter than during the summer, yet it has been sited in the warmer months, as well. It is climate threatened and has disappeared from several areas of its southern range. As its name indicates, it drills holes into tree bark in order to drink sap. It also eats the insects that are drawn to the sap. In the winter, it feeds on fruits and berries.
