While walking the dogs early this morning, I spent about 15 minutes watching 4 yellow-bellied sapsuckers. The light wasn't the greatest but I had a fairly good view as I was directly under them. There were 3 males following 1 female from tree to tree, making quite the racket. At the feeder, goldfinches, purple finches, white and red-breasted nuthatches, titmice, chickadees and phoebes nearby...
