In our brambly backyard, sap runs freely from the crevices of an old Silver Maple. Today, I watched a feathered quartet arrive on the trunk of that rough, fissured bark. All in the space of a moment - Brown Creeper spiraling, Red-bellied Woodpecker inspecting a cavity, Downy making chips fly, and a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker stuck on sweet sap. Old Silver - the great attraction. Elaine Swanson Pickett FDL County #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
