Subject: [CT Birds] Carolina Wrens and Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker
One Carolina Wren here every day, sometimes 2 back in January, and a female yellow-bellied sapsucker - feeding together, adjacent, the wren on suet or seed, the sapsucker on a tube of peanuts.  Until today - sadly only the sapsucker - and she stuck to "her" feeding station even when a large flock of assorted blackbirds descended on my feeders, about squabbling 50 birds, mostly common grackles, some red-winged blackbirds, a few cowbirds and starlings.  I logged 21 species at the feeders today in the snow, wind and cold, but nothing unusual beyond the blackbirds.  Yesterday 3 bluebirds passed through.
