Woodpeckers put on the show at CHC WMA this weekend, with scope views of Hairy, Downy, Red-bellied, Northern Flicker and a couple of very obliging Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. Yellow-bellied is the only sapsucker we have in the East and we had both a young bird, in drab gray and brown with just a touch of red coming in on the head and throat, and an adult male, with bright red in those areas. If you look around at the trees in CHC, you'll see lots of them marked with the rings of sapsuckers where they've drilled for sap and the insects around sap. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Shaun Bamford, Joe Demko, Carrie Bell, and Steve Rodan.
