Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers


Two Sapsuckers have returned to our neighbourhood in Bracebridge. Both were drumming this morning with their distinctive "knocking" sound...also described as "tapping out morse code". Yesterday I noticed a Chickadee drinking some sap leaking out of a split in a maple tree. With the return of the Sapsuckers there will be many more freshly drilled sap holes in the trees...awaiting the return of hummingbirds. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird was already reported in Ohio yesterday!
