Yesterday I saw a small flock of red-wing blackbirds a ways out of town. Perhaps they are moving through from further north. There are still a few goldfinches at the feeder (photo). I am rather surprised as I thought they would be already gone. There may have been a slight frost last night and it is to go down to freezing later this week. Only a few flocks of geese have gone over so far.
The feeder is still very busy. Most are common house sparrows but there are also a few chickadees, savannah sparrows, and the odd red-breasted nuthatch. Also chickadees are fairly common along with purple finches. The purple finches and savannah sparrows as well as the siskins come mixed in with house sparrows.
