Hi all - About 35 or so sparrows and finches at the feeder this morning but
I noticed one which behaved differently from the house sparrows and
finches.  Upon closer look I found it was a chipping sparrow.  Another
first for me at the feeder in Lubbock.

A cardinal family and a couple of blue jays have started coming by every
morning to grab a snack - i.e. they eat a couple of the larger pieces of
cracked corn and then move on.  The neighborhood feral cat (no collar) has
been having fun stalking the doves.  A couple of squirrels come by early to
take a drink, but the birds pretty much ignore them.
