While I was watching my Pine-siskins at the feeders and making my grocery list,  I glanced over at the peanut feeder and saw a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.  It stayed for quite awhile until the Bluejays won over the feeder.  My Pine-siskins still number around 15-20;  they have been here for about 3 weeks.  Two of the three Fox sparrows remain;  they are very leery.  The Sapsucker brings my yard list up to 23 for Nov.  Yesterday, on a quick drive to LaDue Reservoir we had 5 Sandhill Cranes.  The visibility was poor.  There were good numbers of Ruddy ducks and coots.  Nine species of ducks,  1 common loon and 15 Siskins in a tree top.
