Spotted Towhee and Steller's Jay

My suet, and bird feeders are taking a beating from the local Steller Jays. I did manage to sneak a peek at a Towhee yesterday. The Jays, I believe are chasing away other birds at my feeders. They have really dominated my feeders in the past few days.
I noticed a few ducks at the pond that looked like Canadian Geese.

Red-breasted Sapsucker

This bird flew in and landed right beside me on this tree trunk. He then flew to the backside of the tree line and was followed by another sapsucker. I was really lucky to get a photo.
