another bird!

I had a red-bellied woodpecker at the feeder today! And there's a downy woodpecker working on one of the saplings nearby right now. And some small bird is actually eating out of the thistle bag right now (white belly, dark wings is all I can see). And I've pretty definitely identified one of the types of sparrows I get pretty regularly as a white-throated sparrow. The black and white stripes on the head are pretty distinctive, though I haven't gotten a good enough look to see the little yellow spots they should have. There are definitely house sparrows as well, and maybe others.

I've never seen the little yellow bits on those guys, but it sure shows up on pics.
