Jerry Friedman, quotes ADA: "Van's eye over his umbrella crook traveled around a carousel of Sapsucker paperbacks (with that wee striped woodpecker on every spine): ..." and offers a sample of living "echoes" in his posting of two pictures he took in New Mexico: two young Red-naped Sapsuckers and a sapdrinking butterfly. Another connection is to a Sapsucker Woods at Cornell...
Jansy Mello: The two photographs were charming and naturalistically ellucidating. As a foreigner, unfamiliar with these birds, and having given no second thoughts to Van's carousel covers, I merely played (mentally) with the bawdy approach of the terms (wee sapsucker woodpecker). Small stops over a line or a paragraph, such as JF's, bring small delights. The rythm of "With a flick of coattail and a swing-gate click..", the indirect reference to ever-present Chateaubriand ( the Récamier salon) and the allusions in the displayed book's titles A Sunday treat, Jerry F.
