Our yellow-bellied sapsucker is still coming to our suet feeder when he has
to.  When the temperature drops, he comes back.  His deep red throat and cap
are gorgeous.  His yellowy breast feathers seem to blow in the wind far more
than those of the downy and hairy.  I have the impression that he is not as
well insulated.  So far, despite the blizzard, temperatures have not been
too bad this winter so my impression is that he'll make it though.  

 

I'd place my bets on the sapsucker over that poor little indigo bunting.

 

Lots of 'feeder frenzy' went on today, but nothing out of the ordinary.  Two
pairs of cardinals, lots of goldfinches (more than I'd prefer), some evening
grosbeaks, one male pheasant, chickadees, one white-breasted nuthatch,
slate-coloured juncos, a few purple finches (noted only one male and two
female), and a few American tree sparrows.
