The past 3 weeks we have had a Red-bellied Woodpecker frequenting our feeders again.  We had one all summer in 2001, but none last year.
 
We have also had a lone Evening Grosbeak coming in occasionally.  That has become a rare sighting up here!  Years ago we used to have large flocks come to our feeders even in the summer.  Now Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are up here and nesting.  10-15 years ago we never saw a RB Grosbeak up here.  I don't know if this is a weather related phenomenon, as it seems every year more and more southern birds are finding their way northward.
