Fewer visitors

There have been fewer birds at the feeder the last couple of days. Still some flocks of sparrows visit from time to time and scatter seed about. There are still the usual varieties of birds: house sparrows foremost, savannah sparrows, pine siskins, red breasted nuthatch, chickadees, and still the odd goldfinch at this late date.
When we went to shop at a nearby town I saw some herring gulls still around. They were following behind a tractor that was cultivating. There is still some grain to be harvest around here as light rains have made the grain too damp to thresh.
