Sorry for the lack of updates, but not much is going on. Just keeping our heads down and fighting black flies and mosquitoes. And counting down to the first day of frost. 

The crazy woodpeckers are still whacking their heads on the ground.


We are not sure who this is. We thought it might be a lady rose breasted grosbeak, but the beak is wrong, and it's too big for a lady purple finch.


Mr. rose breasted grosbeak. We normally only see them for a day or two on their way thru, but this guy has been here for a couple of weeks. Maybe they will stay and mate.


These two, an American gold finch and a purple finch have become quite chummy.

 

We think that this is a lady rose breasted, but she is very, very shy.


The night shift going home in the am. 


Just another rain bow in the center of the universe.


Looks like the pot of gold is at the Syz's.



George takes a break from reading his book.


Looks like it's a horror story to me.


Mr. rose breasted sings his heart out. He starts at 4:35 EVERY morning. 




Pine siskins scrapping at the feeder.


We haven't seen Mrs. Penny for a few weeks now, but this grouse has been coming every day this week.

The one on the ground is definitely the female Rose-breasted Grosbeak. I think the one in the feeder is a female Red-winged Blackbird.
