Last January we had our first sighting of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.  This amazing bird has returned for another late December and January visit.  He seems to enjoy our upside-down suet feeder.  The video has him pecking away at the suet while the outside temperature today is about 10 F.

Here are two males, a young male and a mature male Grosbeak:

Several years ago, we had a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers creating a home in a backyard tree.

It’s that time of year again, and they’re creating a new home, about 150 feet from our back window.
