Today I had my first Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (male) of the year. It was quietly excavating its typical small, shallow holes in an Austrian pine. It spent most of the day in the same tree. Location: Maple Crescent, Peterborough Observer: Drew Monkman

Trumpeter Swans J81 and J88 were photographed this morning on Chemong Lake, north of Fowler’s Corners. The same birds (along with J84) were seen on Rice Lake on March 30. Location: Chemong Lake Observer: Sandy Brack
