We went to Shoal Lake yesterday and I went for my usual walk in the park. I saw two cedar waxwings (photo) as well as Eastern Kingbirds and the ubiquitous red-winged blackbirds. There was also a robin foraging for worms in the grass.
The feeder is still quite busy with the usual visitors: goldfinches, pine siskins, chipping sparrows (not many) and house sparrows. However yesterday another purple finch visited again. I haven't seen a chickadee for several days now.
There seem to be more and more mourning doves on the sides of the road and on the telephone wires. Gophers are much more prevalent too. They must have had large broods already because there were very few this spring.
