[EBB Sightings] Woodpeckers in the flats

Hi, all.
  I was quite surprised to see a red-breasted sapsucker bounding around the big walnut tree in our back yard this morning--a new yard bird for me. A bit later a downy was busily pursuing lunch in the same tree.
  There's a fig tree in a neighbor's yard that's been attracting robins in sizeable numbers and a few days ago a flock of cedar waxwings came through, swarming the fig and nearby berries.
  A Bewick's wren seems to be becoming a more regular visitor to the yard and there are the usual sparrows, yellow-rumps and hoard of bushtits most mornings.
Cheers,
