[cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
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 January.

The rafts have been north of here but south of the Yacht Club. Just now the sun came out and they're paddling back to the 800 block. Nice light for those who are interested in photography. Of course this is Ithaca, the birds and the light could be gone soon… I'll see if I can count what's visible… I also had today (as yard birds) a Brown Creeper, 4 Downy Woodpeckers, 1 Blue Jay, 3 American Crows guarding the yard, a Hairy Woodpecker, 9 House Sparrows, 2 Black-capped Chickadees, 1 Tufted Titmouse, 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets, 2 White-breasted Nuthatches, 1 Junco.

Below is my ebird report, filling out my previous post to the list. It's interesting how quickly things change in the waterfowl world. There are now at least another hundred Canvasbacks than during the period I counted, only minutes ago. Many more Ring-necked Ducks than yesterday. Far fewer Canadas than usual. The sunshine is exciting (to me and them), and a cluster of shore dabblers are splashing vigorously. The rafts are continuously changing shape, cruising back and forth, north and south, forming long lines and then clumps. Two Black Ducks showed up right after I posted. Elaina Location: SW Corner Cayuga Lake Observation date: 1/30/11 Notes: Waterfowl rafts were moving a lot, and were undercounted due to tree obscuration--more birds to the north. Nothing past about halfway to cluster buoy from west shore was counted due to uncertainty. Common Goldeneyes must be somewhere else today. Fewer Canvasbacks than usual among the Redheads. Nice to see the sunlight on what was here. Number of species: 24 Canada Goose 48 Gadwall 2 Mallard 11 Canvasback 18 Redhead 1700 Ring-necked Duck 64 Greater/Lesser Scaup 12 Bufflehead 1 Common Merganser 16 Ruddy Duck 4 gull sp. 14 Mourning Dove 9 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Downy Woodpecker 4 Hairy Woodpecker 1 Blue Jay 2 American Crow 3 Black-capped Chickadee 2 Tufted Titmouse 1 White-breasted Nuthatch (Eastern) 2 Brown Creeper 1 Carolina Wren 2 Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored) 1 Northern Cardinal 2 American Goldfinch 6 House Sparrow 9 This report was generated automatically by eBird v2(http://ebird.orghttp://ebird.org/) -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
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 was an immature bird that was still fairly brownish and had a white throat (female). I'm wondering if you are near there and if this could be the same bird?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Yes, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at my feeders was female, immature, and with the brownish feathers. I live within 5 miles of St. Anthony's cemetery (actually less, as the Sapsucker flies), so it could very well be the same bird that you saw. Someone who lives near upper Treman Park contacted me off-list to say that she has had a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at her feeder all winter.
