I spent most of today assisting with a preschooler program at the nature center at Deer Haven Preserve. My 3rd day of preschoolers (and 8 programs) of the past week. I keep wondering if I once had that much energy. During the time I had my lunch I watched the bird feeders through the library window. Activity was constant and there were some nice birds. Many White-throated Sparrows, 3 Fox Sparrows and a few Carolina Wrens. Then there was the Fox Squirrel that spent 45 minutes trying to defeat the baffles and other obstacles between it and the feeders. Today he lost.
