If You Ask: Red-breasted sapsucker

I saw a bird on a tree

And wondered who they were

Red breast, on a holy, holey tree

Long beak, plunged deep, sucking sap to drink.

If I ask,

They might tell me.

Or, they may keep their secrets.

Either way, it's fun to ask.

This time, they told me,

With their red breast, long beak, sucking sap,

A Red-breasted sapsucker.
