Bye bye birdie

As if overnight, the goldfinches have vanished. A few of the juncos are still around. Mourning doves, white-winged doves, blue jays, cardinals, chickadees, and titmice and wrens are still in residence. But no goldfinches.

Read Karen Thompson Walker's The Age of Miracles and liked it quite a lot. Now reading Margot Lee Shetterly's Hidden Figures, and so far it is very good.

Well, I guess that means I’ll be seeing goldfinches up here pretty soon! :-D

There are still cardinals around — not here at my place but I have been seeing them at the Art Center — and of course a lot of hawks, and the other day at class I looked out the window and spotted a pileated woodpecker, which always makes me happy.

The sun’s been out here today and it feels so WARM after all those weeks and weeks of polar vortex.

I WISH WE HAD PILEATED WOODPECKERS

Supposedly they are in far East Texas (aka Piney Woods Redneck Land), but I've never seen one. I do love our adorable little downy woodpeckers. :D

Edited to switch icon to that of an actual Downy Woodpecker. *g*
