Large sap wells are excavated in shallow but neat rows on the bark of a tree, and they are usually the first evidence of this sapsucker\s presence. The oozing sap as well as the insects attracted to it serve as a major source of food at some times of the year.

The nest cavity is excavated in a conifer trunk from low down to almost the canopy. In the winter the females go to more open areas and are seldom found together with males.'
