A Sharp-shinned Hawk flew in for a bit.
All the Flickers left, but the Steller's Jays and a Gray Squirrel seemed unbothered and continued to eat seed and suet.
The bird did not stay long before flying off.

I thought I had some geese flying overhead.
But instead it's a trio of Mallards.
Two drakes with a female in the center.
I also thought the Ravens had popped in for a visit.
But instead it's a tri of Crows.
I think they must be a family unit,
...as they hang out together.
Very shiny and glossy!

Thursday morning I woke up to dew covered cobwebs everywhere.
I particularly liked this little one.
And as the seasons have changed so have the birds.
The Lesser Goldfinches have returned.
I had a small flock of about seven birds.
This photo also features a House Finch.

I've been seeing a small Sharp-shinned Hawk with some regularity.
The jays and squirrels pretty much ignore it as they are much larger.
It does spook all the smaller birds and quail and bunnies and chipmunks.
All cautious prey.
It does not hang around so I mostly just let it be.
Look at this little acrobat.
I had a pair of Bushtits come by.
Male bird
And the female.

I've been hearing owls. One evening I heard two Great-horned Owls, a Saw Whet Owl, and a Barred Owl all calling at the same time.
Otherwise it has been quiet on the bird front. The question this time of year is: Will there be an eruption of Pine Siskin this winter like last winter?
Some of the WBU customers had reported seeing them, but I remained skeptical!

Three years later I'm still in love with the light blue linen backdrop.
Here's a bit more blue.

A bite to eat

The Song Sparrows are already singing!
