[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

About 3:30 PM today, I noticed a massive feeding flurry with chickadees, 
titmice, cardinals, wrens, juncos and ferociously fighting male house finches 
trying to fend off the one male purple that showed up to claim a meal.  It 
seemed 
as if I had more birds than ever.  My chickadees and titmice seemed to both 
have late nests, and I think their brood(s) are still here.  Several pairs of 
all the birds except juncos and p. finch nest here, but it seems like I've had 
a 
bumper crop.  Mourning doves, mockers, robins, house sparrows and rock 
pigeons were all in abundance as well.  I've had two white-throats off and on, 
but I 
did not see them today when I was doing kitchen duty which was my only time 
to watch.
