Drive to Hamiota



We went to Hamiota and back this morning. There were several mourning doves along the roadside. There are still plenty of red winged blackbirds in the marshes among the bulrushes. I saw ducks on many ponds but was able to identify only some mallards. There were also a few kildeers that sprang up from the sides of the road.

At the feeder the same birds seem to be feeding: chipping sparrows, house sparrows (pictured) and goldfinches. The one exception were two cowbirds who were feeding on the sunflower seeds on the ground.
