     Ve1ma Carmody of Marshfie1d notes that there were severa1 fema1e Hairy and Downy 
     
     Wood eckers at her feeder throughout January and February, but no ma1es were 
     
     seen until a ma1e Downy was spotted March 1. What ratio of woodpeckers do you 
     
     have at your feeder?

     SQUABBLE AT THE FEEDER. Glen MacLaren of New Perth reports an 
     
     interesting incident which occurred at a neighbour's (Stan Miodowski) 
     
     feeder in mid January. Mr. Miodowski had set out some sunflower seeds 
     
     on a stump in his yard. A squirrel came to feed but was soon scared 
     
     away by the arrival of a cowbird. The squirrel returned and chased 
     
     the cowbird, only to be driven off by a bluejay which fed briefly 
     
     before flying.off. Two evening grosbeaks arrived and began to feed. 
     
     The squirrel returned and grabbed at one of the grosbeaks, injuring 
     
     its wing. It fluttered over to the base of a tree, where the 
     
     Miodowski's were able to catch it. They kept it indoors in a cat 
     
     cage for about a month (there was no cat in the cage at the time) and 
     
     then, thinking the wing to be as good as new, released the bird. It 
     
     seemed to be getting along alright for a while but after a few days 
     
     the wing began to droop and the bird's flight became a bit crooked. 
     
     At last report the bird (crooked wing included) is still on the go, 
     
     and regularly drops in at both the MacLaren and Miodowski feeders.
