These are some of the birds I've been observing this month. The picture quality isn't very good, but hopefully they're good enough for ID purposes. We finally had a first visit of the year by a Junco! I imagine that the Harris Sparrows and White-crown's shouldn't be far behind. They usually begin to show up in colder weather. It was a cold, windy, rainy November day today (35 mph winds) that should bring them :-) We have a pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches (lifers for me) that began visiting last week. I'll probably not post again until after Thanksgiving. Take time to be thankful to God for all your blessings as you enjoy Thanksgiving with your family!

Have a HaPpY ThAnKsGiViNg!!
