Zzzz...

This past week was a snooze-fest.  The highlight was when a Northern Flicker couldn't wait for me to put a new cake in the suet basket.  It flew to the much smaller suet feeder hanging outside our from door and went to town, clinging to the bottom edges of the feeder via its feet and tail.  Goldfinches (American and Lesser) have been stopping by to feed much more frequently than before.  House Finches are still in high numbers as well.  Unfortunately, Varied Thrushes are on the decline and I haven't seen a hummingbird for almost a week now.  I'm not sure what's going on.  Neighborhood cats are also becoming more of a problem.  Hopefully next week will be better.
