BUTU in the oven (Butterball turkey ;-) and even though there is a heavy mist
in Chester the yard is loaded with birds. A Yellow-bellied sapsucker has been
stationed at the suet all morning and doesn't even budge when a Ruby-crowned
kinglet flits in for a nibble. More cardinals than I ever care to band carpet
the ground and all the usual backyard birds are feasting on cracked corn,
thistle and sunflower. A flock of Canada Geese honked over the roof and a
Red-shouldered hawk called overhead when I dashed down to get the newspaper.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Julie K.
