Bad birds
There are many birds at the regular feeder all day. Some of them, particularly female house sparrows love to dump the seed onto the ground and sidewalk. My wife gets angry and sometimes even shooses them away by knocking on the window! Afterward she goes out and dutifully picks the seed off the sidewalk, winnows it, and replaces it. Within a day it is back on the ground!
There have been several north flickers poking in the grass in the yard. I have seen no more nuthatches but there have been several purple finches as well as the regulars in droves: pine siskins, house sparrows, goldfinches and a few chickadees.
