Hi All,                        July 1, 2012
    When all else fails consult the manual--
http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/yellow-bellied_sapsucker/lifehistory

    According to the above, sap can contain more than 10% sugar. Also =
"Rectangular holes...must be maintained continually for sap to flow"
    Also, I see that circular deep holes are made early in the year to =
tap xylem sap. I have not noticed these.

Hi Jim & All,                    June 30, 2012
    Drawing on memory 50 years dim, the sugar concentration of phlom sap =
(the target of Sapsucker activity) in trunks would be relatively high =
throughout the growing season; either going up to boost shoot extension =
or down to replenish reserves in the roots. But flow would be sluggish =
to nil during periods of moisture stress. Don't bet the farm on this but =
9% comes to mind.
    Cutting a sieve tube causes almost immediate plugging of the sieve =
plate, either by flow of protoplasm, synthesis of callose or both. Back =
in the 30's (?) Crafts, Currier & Stocking (?) managed to collect enough =
Cucurbit phloem sap for sugar analysis by repeatedly making small cuts =
back from the wounded surface and collecting the fresh sap with a =
capillary tube (?). In the 60's one visiting prof at Davis (Eschrich) =
was preparing, on return to Germany, to collect phloem sap from leaves =
by using a large feeding aphid and a steady-handed assistant who could =
sever a stunned aphid from its feeding tube without damage to the tube. =
Apparently the very slow flow rates through these small diameter tubes =
are such that sieve plates remain unplugged.

    I have often wondered how Sapsuckers manage to get phloem sap to =
run. Looking at an Alder with fresh holes that I collected, probably in =
late May or early June because I was fishing, years ago it suggests that =
they keep enlarging a cell until it dries up. Feeding cells are lined up =
along the axis and perhaps making a cut on the source side of the flow =
reduces plugging when subsequent holes are cut downstream of this. Just =
speculation.

Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

  I just got this from Donna Crossland of Parks Canada, Kejimkujic Nat. =
Park.  I can add to her observation that of course the oozing sap from =
the sapsucker holes attracts many insects and other invertebrates, which =
then the hummingbirds can catch and eat.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

    Hi Jim!  Happy Canada day!


    I've just spent two wonderful days in the woods, staying at Peskawa =
camp and
    conducting song bird counts.  Only 2 more outings, and then I am =
finished
    for this year.


    My favourite moment was listening to a hummingbird overhead and =
wondering
    what the attraction could be, as I had remarked that I had heard it =
in the
    same area the day before....  It just happened that Mr. and Mrs. =
sapsucker
    were at this tree only moments before...  When I took a closer look, =
I
    could see the hummingbird poking its little bill in each tiny =
sapsucker
    hole...  I knew about hummingbirds relying on sapsuckers when they =
return
    in early spring, but apparently this symbiosis continues throughout =
the
    summer(?)  To my surprise the tree was red oak... wonder just what =
the
    sugar content would be in oak this time of year....


    Good to hear from you!

    Donna, remember when we chatted about not seeing many mink =
road-kills?  It
    occurred to me later, of course, that minks are small enough that =
they will
    not stay on roads long after being killed, since scavengers can =
