Birdfeeding

Filled the feeders yesterday with black oil sunflower and mixed seeds. Tossed older seed on the ground. Old apples from the tree outside our door are still on the ground, too.

Seen today so far: at least 2 bluejays, at least 2 titmice, 3 or more juncos, more than 7 chickadees,. Yesterday we had a mourning dove.

Everyone seems to prefer the feeders in the cherry tree -- a greater pecentage of black oil seed? Better eating perches? The juncos also poked about the stone wall.

Saw a kingfisher -- possibly 2 -- at the pond yesterday. Seems late for them; don't they migrate? I suppose I really don't know.

I suppose I should post this on eBird, too.
