Busy feeders
(Chris, I'm going to post a whole slew of pics--if you can't download them, let me know and I'll email them
 )We've reopened the Hazel Run Avian Restaurants but there are fewer feeders available for all the birds and much more traffic at the feeding stations. On a typical day we might see: Ms Brown-headed Cowbird Dashing Mr Purple Finch Young Hairy Woodpecker

Seems like the entire American Goldfinch clan crashes the party some days, bringing a Chipping Sparrow along for a little variety... ...and the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Downy Woodpeckers often join them. After the party, the cleanup crew moves in to clean up the grounds.
