Sapsucker Nesting Attempt in Fond du Lac County

摘要

During the summer of 2008 I heard on at least two separate occasions the distinct irregular tapping of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker from across the lake on which we live in southeastern Fond du Lac County (T14N, R19E, S27). While sapsuckers are common migrants in this part of the state, they have usually departed by late April to early May. This particular bird, however, was observed in the middle and end of June.
