After checking the Caesar Creek beach and finding only Coots, Ring-billed Gulls and a few frustrated duck hunters I returned home to find a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and a Red-breasted Nuthatch on the tree in our yard. We usually have a friendly Red-breasted Nuthatch or two stay around to cheer us up during these Ohio winters but this bird only stayed a few minutes. We are hoping it will return and take advantage of the bird B&B which we provide.
