FOS Pine Siskins on our sunflower chips feeder. A small flock (8-10) argued
with the Goldfinch and each other about 1 PM until all the seeds were gone.
Purple Finch have been coming back to the sunflower seeds again yesterday and
today. The pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers have started working on another
tall Tulip Poplar tree together. Last week I discovered they have started
working on the Foster Holly doing their waffle pattern in the same area as last
year. I was surprised to see the sap running down the tree trunk. While I was
up close to take a picture, a small bird came close to get sap but was spooked
by me. I didn't see what it was. As soon as I moved away from the tree, a
sapsucker was back working it again. Joyce and I both saw one of them working
it several times during the week.
