I put up some suet feeders yesterday, and in less than 10 minutes had juncos, red-breasted nuthatches, Bewick’s wrens, and an unidentified sparrow, possibly golden-crowned. It’s interesting to see how the species mix each year, but juncos are a given. Haven’t seen pine siskins in a few years since a big salmonella die-off in the neighborhood, but hoping they will make a comeback. The hummers seemed a bit ticked off that there wasn’t something provided for them, so must get on that. All of these wonderful creations make life worth living.

North Corner Chamber Orchestra concerts are great. I think this may be the first time the group has performed in West Seattle.

Thanks, Anonyme, for your kindness to birds. You’ve inspired me to get a couple of suet feeders and hope that our friendly neighborhood squirrels steer clear.

Sorry, comment time is over.
