Squirrel Licking Tree Trunk, Snohomish County, Washington

An Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) licks the trunk of an elm tree where a red-breasted sapsucker has drilled holes. Sapsuckers drill neat rows of holes in trees to feed on the sap, but their work attracts other animals. Insects are also drawn to the holes and squirrels, which are omnivores, will take advantage of opportunities to feed on the protein-rich insects.
