From Eni Falci:

Hi Peter-


Both feeding areas - the one at [---- ] and the Vale were active yesterday. The Vale had the red breasted nuthatch and lots of titmice and chickadees. Even the redbellied woodpecker and the downy came for peanut bits. The Red tailed Hawk came and perched in the Tulip tree mid afternoon. What is doing with the nest?

Michelle's walk at noon saw the birds already reported but in addition we had a hairy woodpecker and male YB sapsucker on the Lullwater before the rustic arbor and on the way back a long not seen Brown Creeper at the Lullwater side of the upper Wellhouse Road.
