[Maine-birds] Yellow bellied sapsucker West Kennebunk

Have enjoyed my first ever pair of yellow bellied sapsuckers nesting here this year; the female has carried a lot of grape jelly to presumed young ones in the last week. She is one of the females that has no red on her throat-just a black "band".

Also have had a pair of nesting Brown Thrashers for the first time in 16 years-they are enjoying the suet and push off anyone in the way! 5 Baltimore Oriole nests are close by;  there is a nesting pair of Yellow throated Vireos as well 2 pair of Chestnut sided Warblers but no common Yellow throats here at all.  A bit of an unusual year....
