had fun going through my various bird books and apps because I saw a very interesting bird on the deck yesterday… it was a touch bigger than a sparrow but with stripes on its front with a black dot on its chest… couldn’t find it in any of the books…

there was a house finch there too and I haven’t seen any of them for quite a while…

at one point I saw three chickadees at a feeder in the front yard at the same time… rare to see more than one…

was going from the front to the back throughout the day checking on the guests…

didn’t get any pictures except this one when I headed to the front yard to fill the feeders…

brought the pail of seeds into the kitchen to make filling the feeders easier…
