• •' • fcj* s Extension People: Sapsuekers severly damage trees SKCTION 2 - PACE 1 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. OCTOBER 7.1983 Cooler weather and shortening days are hints that autumn is here. Many species of birds have already begun flocking and migrating southward, the majority of which are harmless. One necies passing throuch McHenry County whicn can do considerable damage to trees is the yellow-bellied sapsucker. The yellow-bellied sapsucker is a woodpecker about the size of a starling. Most of the body is black and white, with a red patch above the beak. Pine trees are most susceptible to damage due to sapsuekers. Austrian, white, and red pines are favorite targets. Other bees frequently plaqued with sapsuekers include spruce, maple, mountain ash, and various fruit trees. Sapsucker damage appears as horizontal or vertical rows of round or rectangular holes in the trunk and major branches of the tree. Small amounts of scattered areas of sapsucker feeding will not harm the tree. However, these. birds will frequently return to a favorite area on a tree and become very destructive. If heavy damage goes all the way around a trunk or limb, all branches above it may eventually die. Additionally, the tree may become weakened by heavy damage and fall over in Ugh winds or under the weight of accumulating snow and ice. Trees may also be harmed by insects or disease organisms which can enter through the open wounds left by the sapsucker. Controlling sapsucker damage is difficult. Areas on trees that are repeatedly attacked by sapsuekers should be protected by wrapping with bunap or some other suitable material. Hanging pie tins, pieces of foil, or other devices mat flash in the wind and make noise may help by frightening the birds. Hanging rubber snakes or pieces of hose on trees has also worked in some cases. "The yellow-bellied sapsucker is protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, thus land owners may not hunt or kill them. , general Post office holiday schedule Oct. 10 The McHenry post office will operate, on a holiday schedule during Columbus day, Monday, Oct. 10.
