I was only home for a part of the day today, but I still managed to get 18
species in and around the yard. A first for the season was a female Purple
Finch. I also had 4 cowbirds. I hadn't seen any of them for a few months.
A Red-shouldered Hawk kept calling from down in the valley. At the feeders I
had a Hairy, Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers. A Pileated called from the
woods.
