Yesterday and this morning there is a juvenile YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER at
my suet feeder. I typically get all the regular woodpeckers at my feeders,
but this is the first time to have a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker here in

The rafts have been north of here but south of the Yacht Club. Just now the

Below is my ebird report, filling out my previous post to the list. It's

Marla,
On the Cortland Christmas Bird Count on December 18, we found a Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker in the St. Anthony's cemetery on the hill above town of Groton. It

(female). I'm wondering if you are near there and if
Yes, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at my feeders was female, immature, and
