It's been a bit thin here, south of Kingston, for the past several days,
except for a constant stream of titmice and a few chickadees. However,
there is mammalian action -- I just rescued my new and
ill-(but-fun-)placed deck feeder from a matched pair of young raccoons,
who pillaged it as my cats looked on, agog. At least in my vicinity,
natural forage this year looks excellent and I wonder if my birds are
dining native in preference to "store-bought."

About 3:30 PM today, I noticed a massive feeding flurry with chickadees,
titmice, cardinals, wrens, juncos and ferociously fighting male house
finches
trying to fend off the one male purple that showed up to claim a meal.
It seemed
as if I had more birds than ever. My chickadees and titmice seemed to
both
have late nests, and I think their brood(s) are still here. Several
pairs of
all the birds except juncos and p. finch nest here, but it seems like
I've had a
bumper crop. Mourning doves, mockers, robins, house sparrows and rock
pigeons were all in abundance as well. I've had two white-throats off
and on, but I
did not see them today when I was doing kitchen duty which was my only
time
to watch.
