Had some decent yard birds lately: A Red-breasted Nuthatch has been feeding on sunflower seeds in my yard for the past couple of days.......Am. Goldfinches (maybe 2 or 3) have been around for the last couple of weeks.....an Eastern Phoebe has been calling in the neighborhood......a Dark-eyed Junco (slaty) was feeding on millet on the ground yesterday (haven't had one of those in the yard in years). Waiting on Purple Finches, Siskins, Evening Grosbeaks, Red Crossbills (one can always hope). Boat loads of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks have been around the ponds at the VA cemetery off of Veterans-Memorial Blvd. (but they have been there for years).......also, 20+ Gadwall were seen on a private pond adjacent to the cemetery on Thanksgiving.
