Our Yellow-bellied Sapsucker showed up April 5, one day earlier than last year. He usually sticks around for several days, then continues north.
Then yesterday (April 6) Carol noticed he had a lady friend. Out our back window we watched them chasing each other all around the neighborhood in a wild game of tag. Suddenly there was a bang! on our front window, and the dazed male was sitting on our front steps.
He didn't want to let go of my fingers when I picked him up, but I was finally able to disengage his toes onto our front fence. He hung there a few minutes, then came out of his trance and flew to our tulip tree.
We hope he's all right. Woodpeckers do have hard heads, don't they?
