Goodbye to Some Birds, Hello Woodpeckers

April 17, 2021

Chip points out that Redpoll, Pine Grosebeak, Crossbill, and Pine Siskin sightings are on the decline, most likely indicating they have headed north for the year. But Anson notes that the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is back. This woodpecker has a unique drumming pattern that is quite slower than their woodpecker cousins. And they can drum and squeal quite loud. The two also talk about the Northern Flicker, another type of Woodpecker.
