Lotta Woodpeckers compared to normal, what ever that means.

Redbellies, Downies and Hairies. Three or four of one kind or another
all the time. On the hanging BOSS feeder more often than not.

Nobody interested in the suet. I wonder if it has gone bad.

More Chickadees than we have ever had in view at once (8 or 10 at a
time, sometimes.) Two kinds it looks like -- haven't looked them up yet
-- Black Capped and Carolina?

Robins galore--most of them on the lawn.

Lotta Bluejays.Several Nuthatches--3 or 4 at a time--one is normal.

Few LBBs -- one or two. Some redfaced--not many.

I think we have some out-of-uniform Goldfinches, but I'm not sure.

Juncos.

And squirrels.

Haven't seen any Turkeys today--were a bunch here yesterday.

Everybody putting away the chow like they were expecting a long cold
stormy not going to get out much winter.

That reminds me. I need to go to the store.

A shorter list, but interesting highlight. Yesterday, lots of light cheeps in
the top of an oak tree in the woods. Binoculars revealed 5 Bluebirds, 2
Goldfinch, a Purple Finch, and an unidentified small bird like a warbler. They
stayed for half an hour just chatting with each other. Can't imagine what was
going through their brains (minds?).

A few Woodpeckers, Bluejays, Cardinals, Mockingbirds, and various LBBs were
around yesterday. No Carolina Wrens for days. A Junco last week, but none
since.

Surprisingly, an unseen Robin was heard in the pre-dawn dusk yesterday, perhaps
one of the year-round residents (along with the Bluebirds). It's been two
months since the Robins headed South.

Feeders up, featuring BOSS and commercial suet. Anxious to see what they bring.
