[Maine-birds] woodpeckers and a sharp-shinned hawk along the Megunticook River

This morning a piliated woodpecker chased a northern flicker off our suet feeder.  That made it a 5-woodpecker day, the others being a red-bellied, and hairy and downy woodpeckers.  Yesterday, an inquisitive gray squirrel approached a sharp-shinned hawk on a branch near the feeders.  When the squirrel was about a foot away, the hawk hopped to a nearby branch.
