Things change so fast, don't they? We had four orioles last going off and now we don't seem to have any. I had a day when we were awash in Starlings and now none. That is not a complaint! We do still have Mourning Doves, many, all over the property. So far they don't appear to be ill. I am keeping fingers crossed. We have our allotment of five rowdy Blue Jays, a few song sparrows, one white throat, a couple juncos that are here dawn to dusk, and a few chickadees. Yesterday we had two American goldfinches, and about 20 more Juncos. A sharp-shinned hawk swung in low over the feeder yesterday but I think it went away empty handed. There were two Grackles, and a Red-winged Blackbird, female., and what might be a Hermit Thrush. I can hear what I think is a brown headed Cow bird. A couple Robins came to the ash tree and surveyed things closely and then left. The Red-bellied wood pecker (very talkative, natters all the time) came back to the chickadee feeder and was promptly chased away by a large female Hairy woodpecker. I don't have much Downy woodpecker activity strangely. I nearly always have them summer and winter. I heard an owl close by Saturday night but don't know what one. I have a peeper sounding off now in the yard, in the pouring rain. I think that's it for this weekend. Marg Millard, White Point, Queens http://margmillard.ca
