One of those terrific fall days

Sunday was one of those rare fall days when the yard is alive with birds. Plus, it was a weekend day, so I didn’t miss it toiling at work.

It started with a kinglet that flew into a small tree about three feet away from me. I love it when kinglets appear out of nowhere and fly right up to you.

Then the white-breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice and black-capped chickadees shared the feeder, as well as a downy woodpecker. A red-bellied woodpecker called from a distance. Yellow-rumped warblers were everywhere. Goldfinches were plentiful, as were blue jays. A brown creeper climbed up a locust tree. Cardinal nervously flew low in the woods. On top of that, chipmunks ran all over the place. That was about 9 a.m. At noon when I check again, only the nuthatches remained. Sometimes it’s all about timing.
