This morning at breakfast I noticed the juncos or snowbirds have returned. They've found my birdfeeders and are busy eating all the sunflower scraps dropped on the ground. Later in the winter they will master flying to the feeders and eating there, too.
The red bellied woodpecker has also reappeared. Haven't seen it all summer.
Other birds stopping by are the chickadees and titmice (which think they own the feeders), nuthatches, goldfinches (now greenish) and mourning doves.
We saw a red-bellied woodpecker at school this week. We're just barely in their range so it was exciting to see. The juncos have been flocking to our feeder too.
