To my great surprise, the first bird I saw was the male YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER swooping down into some of the deciduous trees that are around the field where the chicken forage. From here it moved to the evergreen magnolia again, then to the little fruit trees in the chicken's field, on to the laurel at the end, and then it settled down in a live oak and was mostly quiet. After about 10 minutes it started the same route again, but settled down in the magnolia again where it occasionally would pry or feed in the fruits. About this time Bob Reiling and Frank Vanslager showed up and a minute or so later, Peter LaTourrette. I left them with the bird about 10:00 am. Nice bird, Garth. Later, I decided if this was such a lucky day, I should go look for the Tufted Duck at Salt Pond A2W. Among the thousands of ducks there I managed 20 REDHEADS and five male and a female EURASIAN WIGEON.
