Still ducks, geese, and gulls around



We drove to Brandon yesterday. There were ducks in many sloughs. We saw a number of mallards(photo). We saw several farmers cultivating fields with flocks of herring gulls following to feast on whatever was unearthed. We also saw several magpies although they are few and far between.

The feeder is still busy but with the regulars: house sparrows, red- breasted nuthatches, pine siskins, and chickadees. We bought some different seed rather than just sunflowers we have a mixture. Perhaps some new species will appear.
