Sapsuckers’ day off

Thursday, July 31st, 2014
Chestnut-sided Warbler, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 31 July 2014.

Chestnut-sided Warbler.

Quick late hike today with dog. No sapsuckers on the sap patches for the first time in a couple weeks, I bet. Did catch glimpse of other species—including two species of warblers feeding active fledglings (Common Yellowthroat, Chestnut-sided Warbler).

Kind of missed the sapsuckers.
