The past two days were very birdy in my neighborhood. The wind was strong from the east and it was overcast but calm over the lake. I am battling one particular, smart, hyperactive, black squirrel with an attitude. I do this solely by moving the TWO baffles, a little higher, a little closer together, a little lower, etc. The squirrel figured out how to move away from the pole, judge the distance and leap onto the lower baffle, which was only about 2 inches from the higher one! Along with being unreasonably pissed off, I was also entertained.
Some goldfinches are now brilliant yellow and black. There was a loon on the lake and I saw two brown thrashers under the feeder near the bushes. And, at dusk, there were 11 chipping sparrows, small and elegant, picking up the loose seed on the lawn.
