I'm likewise happy to report a regular RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH; always
one, and once there were two, to report to the weekly FeederWatch. Still
no Pine Siskin, but I've had a couple Purple Finches.

I'm happy to report that a male RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH 
continues to visit our feeders in Laurel (PG County) -- I've 
only missed him a couple times during weekly FeederWatch 
counts that started in mid-November.  Are others still 
seeing this species regularly?

Less frequent, but still regular, is a YELLOW-BELLIED
SAPSUCKER (female; sometimes a male shows up too).

No signs of the siskins and Purple Finches of late last 
year.

Good birding!

P.S. COOPER'S HAWK is fairly regular now too.  And feral 
cats unfortunately. :(
