While working from home yesterday and enjoying therapidly changing weather *
from 68 degrees at 6 AM yesterday to 35 degrees at the same time today--
watched our feeders just enough to note some new seasonal visitors.
The usual birds visited-- cardinals, mourning doves, song sparrows, Carolina
chickadees, tufted titmice, house finches and wb nuthatches. Joining them
however were some migrants-- at least three female and one male purple finch.
On the ground with white-throated sparrows and both local and migrant song
sparrows were at least three fox sparrows.
We have a 40-50 bird mixed vulture roost near our house. With the winds, the
birds were in the air very early @ 6:30 AM and stayed aloft around the
neighborhood most of the day despite the winds and rain.
