[EBB Sightings] Looked for Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, found White-throated Sparrow

The YB Sapsucker was there from when I arrived at 10 to about 10:35, when a 
dog walker came by.  It flew off across the creek.  A YR Warbler kept 
hanging around trying to get to the sap wells, but  the sapsucker kept it 
away.  It's in an almond tree that is just setting fruit.  Though there were 
striped sparrows near the mtn shed, they were just the usual variety.  I 
didn't see the White-Striped at that time.
