Some of the other visitors here during the last several weeks…

Western Tanager

American Goldfinch

Merlin (this one hit the window…and then had to take a few moments to collect herself…she finally flew off…I see her everyday swoop down from the pine trees and pick off one of the tiny Pine Siskins at the finch feeder…too bad for the Pine Siskin, good for her she can still hunt after the bell-ringing I’m sure the window gave her)

Tiger Salamander…caught sneaking across the back patio one morning and then meandering across the yard, finally diving down a hole next to the house (lovely…)

It’s been an interesting month, to say the least.
