Glad I caught it because this is the only time of year it visits us.
DE Juncos came and went to help out with the clean up. The suet feeder
is down (courtesy of the squirrels) for the year, but the woodpeckers
are finding leftovers in the dirt under where it hung. Barred Owl
"cooking" down in the swamp. Two turkeys RAN through the south meadow,
crossed the road without looking, and vanished into the woods. Heard
geese through my open skylight last night. Shelagh Smith near Fern
Lake.
