    吸汁啄木鸟

    Sphyrapicus, family Picidae: four species

    Example sentencesExamples
    • I obtained sap only when my incisions were made within 0.5 cm above active sapsucker holes, and then only after sapsuckers had access to my holes for a few hours.
    • The largest of Washington's sapsuckers, Williamson's Sapsuckers are striking birds.
    • Because trees may die as a result of sapsucker attack, and many animals may need sap for food, how sapsuckers choose their trees and extract sap from them has far-reaching implications for the whole forest community.
    • It catches insects in flight and uses sapsucker holes to feed on sap and insects attracted to the sap.
    • Alternatively, my drillings may have been adequate mimics of true sap holes, but the sapsuckers may employ additional (as yet unknown) techniques to induce sap flow.
    • A small woodpecker flew into a tree above me, and when I saw its slender profile and long bill, I thought it must be a sapsucker.
    • To test whether the use of specific trees could help explain how sapsuckers obtain free-flowing sap from their incisions, I attempted to extract sap from both used and unused trees.
    • They also eat sap from sapsucker holes or from holes they themselves have drilled and also some fruit, flower nectar, seeds, and insects, especially flying ants.
    • Immature birds have been observed eating sap from sapsucker holes in trees.

    • They also visit sapsucker holes and feed on sap and insects attracted to the holes.
    • They pierce the base of a flower to get at the nectar, and visit woodpecker and sapsucker holes for tree sap.

    • When nectar resources are scarce, hummingbirds will also feed on sap from holes in trees made by sapsuckers (Sphyrapicus).
    • Red-naped Sapsuckers are the most common sapsucker in deciduous and streamside forests, especially in and around aspen, cottonwood, and willow.
    • Thus, although it is clear that the trees that sapsuckers attack are less healthy than surrounding trees, without more information, firm conclusions cannot be drawn about whether sapsucker use is a cause or an effect of this phenomenon.
