I saw my first Red-bellied Sapsucker of the fall just a little while ago in
the Coker Arboretum on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. She flew into a ginkgo
tree. There was definitely some bird action: I also saw several Red-eyed
Vireos, an immature American Redstart, and a Blue-winged Warbler. The
Blue-winged was gleaning insects from a Chinese Fringe Tree (Chionanthus
retusus). The arboretum is full of Asian trees that are cousins to native
species. Today it's also full of small mosquitos!
