Observation details

At a couple points, the sapsuckers chased off the red-headed woodpecker, who was at their tree(s), either feeding on the sap or on insects drawn to that sap. Their tree was also alive with butterflies, which I assume were also drawn to the sap. We saw red admirals and at least one mourning cloak.
