Oak Forest of the Gorge Journal
by Joy Stickney-Markgraf

"While watching the birch tree-trunk, where a pair Red-breasted Sapsuckers are making new sap wells- little cups- for their baby to drink from, I notice other visitors coming to the sweet liquid as well. A juvenile hummingbird laps up the juice (see photo) and a butterfly shares in the feast. Many ants are irresistibly drawn to the spot where they in turn become protein for the sapsuckers (see photo)."
