Weekend birding observations.

Lots of rain yesterday afternoon and it has been continuously raining today. Yesterday’s observations are from the afternoon (let’s call it 2-5 PM), while today’s are for a few minutes this morning (around 11:30). I may update today’s observations, time permitting, if any interesting birds show up.

Highlights? A pair of Carolina Chickadees, several Dark-Eyed Juncos feeding in and around puddles, and a surprising number of House Finches (~10 at times).

I picked up some black-oil sunflower seed earlier in the week, and loaded up three of the feeders with the stuff yesterday morning. It did not take long for the birds to dig in, and one opportunistic raider also wanted to take a nibble.
