It's been very interesting to watch the American Goldfinches.
When we arrive in Florida in September, we rarely see any. Our feeders host lots of Pine Warblers, but not many finches. They begin to trickle in starting in November and the numbers grow throughout the winter months. By February, we have so many that we are filling the sunflower feeders almost daily.
Last week, we had about 200 on the feeders, the ground and in our oak tree.
The next day, they were gone. This Yellow-rumped Warbler had the feeders all to himself!
This year we have two Sherman Fox Squirrels that visit almost daily. There has been a lot of new construction in the area so we don't see the numbers as in previous years. I hope they are ok.
Any day that we see a Pileated Woodpecker is a good day!
We had an unusual visitor this morning - a Brown-headed Cowbird.
Our beautiful Bluebirds are much more welcome!
In other news, this is a sink hole that opened up in a drainage ditch in front of a neighboring community. Scary!
