Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Returns

Saturday, January 6, 2018 8:13 pm GS

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.

These forecasts (temp, rain/snow, etc) are based on the weather model data for the location represented by the "X"— data specific to the weather model grid points: Fort Washington State Park and Blue Bell (KLOM) Montgomery County, PA. This data point is more central to the Philadelphia area at large than Philadelphia Airport (KPHL).

Forecasts now include Max Temperature with Standard Deviation (sd) from the model blend (NBM).
