[Maine-birds] yellow-bellied sapsucker and Carolina wren in Hallowell

Feeding frenzy at or near our feeders today; birds know the weather's changing!
For at least an hour mid-day we had an adult male yellow-bellied sapsucker around the feeders.
Its plumage was pretty stunningly obvious at this time of year. 
It took black oil sunflower seeds off for eating, and occasionally did the more normal sapsucker drilling routine on our old red maple tree.
Sorry I don't have a camera yet to catch pics of sightings like this.
Also had a Carolina wren working its way from the neighbor's wood pile to our compost pile to our wood pile.  Did go up on the bird feeder once.
A tree creeper has been here almost every day we've spent time looking.
