Hi Tweets,

2 Sapsuckers (males?) had a shout down this morning. A third Sapsucker (female?) was busy checking out the dead branches of the maple tree and did not seem at all disturbed by the fighting two. The two combatants started in the maple then flew on to the light pole with one chasing the other till they both flew screaming into the woods.

And right after the ruckus was over I noticed a Chestnut-backed
Chickadee checking out the Chickadee bird house. Already?
