Happy Halloween!

Watch out for that frost on the pumpkins. We've come real close to seeing it here. Have a safe and sane Halloween and save some candy for tomorrow.

New sightings. Our first Dark-eyed Junco showed up yesterday. I couldn't hardly believe my eyes. It seems so early but he is a welcome sign of the cooler weather. Also, a male Lesser Goldfinch came to the thistle feeder. I've put out some dried cranberries for the fruit eaters but so far only the House Sparrows and House Finches have been eating them. I'm hoping it will attract the Nuthatches and Flickers. Wait and see.
