Spent the last 2 days doing my last backyard Feederwatch count - had 20 species, the best I've had all season. Among the birds were: a red-tailed hawk, grackles, a red-winged blackbird (actually saw two, a male and a female but they came separately so only could count one), a yellow-bellied sapsucker, a junco, two downy woodpeckers harassing a flicker who must have been feeding too close to a nesting site. They would let up on him when he moved away from his preferred feeding branch in my next door neighbor's maple tree and resume the harassment when he returned to that branch.
