On the way to shop at the next town only 14k away we saw about a half dozen pairs of mallards most in separate sloughs(ponds)but one pair waddling in a field! The most common bird seen were red-wing blackbirds. They seem quite numerous this year. On the other hand I have yet to see a yellow headed blackbird. There are usually a few to be seen as well.

The feeder is still visited by chickadees, chipping sparrows, the odd house sparrow, and goldfinches. Today there were about half a dozen birds that I believe were immature goldfinches. One or two had a hint of yellow developing but the wingbars look just like the adults.
