Fall Birds

I started filling the bird feeders a couple of weeks ago — I’m not going to provide free board for the greedy little bastards during the summer when they can make their own living — & I’ve seen house finches, grosbeaks, hairy & downy woodpeckers, greater & lesser nuthatches, billions of chickadees, blue jays, juncos. I’m sure I’m forgetting one or two species. We haven’t had any snow yet, so there is plenty of foraging: the numbers will increase as the weather gets colder. Hail / sleet / rain this morning, highs in the forties.
