Hi all
    For about a month in August, I had a hatch year Yellow-bellied =
Sapsucker attending a small hummingbird feeder. This is a small =
cylindrical feeder about 13 cm x 4cm  without a perch, but I situate it =
so that there is a horizontal branch of the tree below the single port. =
The sapsucker would perch for quite some time and lap the sugar solution =
from the rim of the feeder. It seemed to disapperar for a couple of =
weeks, but I noted it back at the usual perch again about an hour before =
dusk the last 2 evenings. Since it is only about 3 m from my window it =
is a great study of the bird in this plumage.=20
 I last saw an imm. or fem. Hummingbird at my feeder on Sept. 9.

cheers
    Ken
