Hi all,
I stopped at Lake Park in Milwaukee late morning today to check things out.
The highlight was numerous Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers licking sap from new
and old holes in trees. Some would sit lower towards the base of the tree
as there may be more sap at those locations. It is said they could be going
for sap or insects, I think today it was sap. It was interesting to sit and
watch as this continued while I was present. Snow fell for most of the time
I was present, a gloomy day with some winds. Birds around where very
active. A couple species to note where a Golden-crowned Kinglet and my
first Yellow-rumped Warbler of the year.
Images of the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in action today at this link if you
care to view them:

Thanks and good birding,
