A bonus of having the last four days off work and spending more time at home is the show put on by my local wildlife. The birds put on a show for Thanksgiving. I had a flock of crab apple eating robins, downy woodpeckers, hairy woodpeckers, red bellied woodpeckers, pileated woodpeckers, and Northern flickers. This is the first year I have seen Northern flickers eating suet but they have been back every day. I had chickadees and goldfinches and white breasted nuthatches and cedar waxwings and juncos and blue jays and cardinals. A flock of turkeys strolled through the yard on Thanksgiving putting on quite a holiday show. Male and female white tailed deer visited along with my resident chipmunk and a bunch of grey squirrels. Flocks of Canadian geese can be seen more clearly now that the leaves are off of the trees. What a show! I sure enjoyed being home during daylight hours for a change.
