Well, instead of actually grading papers, which is what I should be doing, I keep peeking out the window. The dining room looks out onto the backyard and out to the feeders there. This slightly overcast, breezy cool morning, there were some new arrivals at the feeders. On the hanging tubes with safflower and sunflower seeds my daughter and I caught a male and female pair of House Finches hanging and chatting. Each had a separate feeder, but were looking at each other and appeared to be having a conversation while eating. We also saw a small Downy Woodpecker who flew in and out to the peanut suet hanging basket. Some turtle doves flew down to the ground under the house feeder with the millet. No one else but the squirrels seem to be active today; but it is fun to watch the squirrels hanging upside down to extract the shelled peanuts I have in another small hanging feeder.
