[mou] Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, Castle Rock Twp, Dakota Cty

[Mark Roberts]

Those that have replied seem to also agree that it is a 
Yellow-Bellied.  I also submitted pictures to Cornell Univ. for the 
Project Feederwatch program and they agree.

If anyone is interested it is still at my feeders this weekend.  It 
has been here for the last hour at my suet feeder.

We are located at 3153 263rd St W, Northfield.  Directions are take 
Hwy 3 south from Farmington 5 miles to 263rd St (If you get to Viking 
Auto Salvage, you've gone to far) we are on the North side of the 
263rd with a motorhome parked in the driveway).
