Backyard is Getting Quiet

The American Goldfinch flocks are thinning out but at least a new visitor stopped by this morning. A pair of Chipping Sparrows.

We get a few every year but not for very long. I still have trouble tracking them by calls since I rarely hear them. They did stop in the tree for a bit to preen and give me a few looks.

The Indigo Bunting continues to tease me by staying way back in the yard.

On the way home, I found a gorgeous female Northern Cardinal. Can't recall the last time I saw a bill so red on our local variety.
