Day 16.113: Backyard birds

Sunday was our very last day of FeederWatch for the season. It was a very rainy day and we were not optimistic that we would see much in the way of feeder visitors. Contrary to expectations, we had a lot of birds - up to ten goldfinches at one time and lots of others including a pileated woodpecker.

Here are some pictures.

Some drama in need of a caption perhaps

Did I mention lots of goldfinches

It was sending huge chunks of wood flying
