What a great morning.  We just had a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER (female) in our little "feeder tree" this morning!  I know they aren't rare, but this is a lifer for me as well as a new feeder bird!! WOO-HOO!  I hope she stays around!  She didn't get a chance to feed yet because my resident DOWNIES are so protective of "their" feeders!  They are always chasing the RED-BELLIES away.  Why can't they share, there's certainly enough to go around ;-) 

Do others have YB SAPSUCKERS at their feeders?  Do they feed from the suet feeders?

Also had 2 WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCHES this year at our feeders.  First time feeder birds for our house too!
