I took a trip to the dump and on the way I saw two crows along the highway. At least I assume they are crows. Soon they will be replaced by ravens who come here from the north for the winter.
There have been quite a few red breasted nuthatches visiting the feeder and also several purple finches. Chickadees are still common as well. I found a dead pine siskin near the feeder. I have no idea what was wrong perhaps he hit the window and broke his neck but I rather doubt it. There are still savannah sparrows, and again today I saw a female goldfinch. The most common birds though are flocks of house sparrows. I wish they would stay in the fields where there must be plenty of grain for them on the ground. There have been very few flocks of geese going south as yet.
