The YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS were back this morning on the 
Paint Branch Stream Valley Park trail in College Park (PG 
County): a male where I'd last reported him, just north of 
Metzerott, toward the golf course, and a female in the 
forest south of Metzerott, near the university.  Also had a 
WINTER WREN and a couple FOX SPARROWS along with 
RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS, RED-TAILED HAWKS, and a male AMERICAN 
KESTREL.  (In the afternoon I picked up some more day birds, 
including GREAT BLUE HERON and PILEATED WOODPECKER).  Full
