Today the male brown headed cowbirds showed up as did a couple more Common 
Grackles. The Red winged blackbird is back and holding forth in the ash 
tree. The usually little guys are here, the sparrows: Song, A. tree, the fox 
and a solitary white throat.
Juncos, mostly males, plump with very dark plumage, and chickadees, lots of 
chickadees. The nuthatch came in beat on the hummingbird feeder for a bit 
then left. I can't figure what it is doing that for.
I have had  only a couple blue jays this past few days and the mourning dove 
numbers have also dropped drastically. I think I have 9 in the yard now. 
There may be a vireo, can't get a good enough look at it. It likes the very 
top of the big maple.  Crow numbers have dropped to nearly nil and starlings 
show up a few once in awhile.
Once again I thought I saw a hummingbird, am 99% sure but can't say as I 
didn't see it on the feeder. It nearly mowed me down when I was walking to 
the mailbox. Then something flashed past the window. feeders are out and 
will stay out. I won't post it on the Hummingbird tracking site until I see 
one on the feeder or get a photo of one.
Oh the butcher bird seems to be hunting elsewhere this past day or so...my 
brain won't work today. sorry.
