The feeder at the Backyard Garden was a very busy place this morning,with small flocks of house finches, a few white-breasted nuthatches, chickadees, white-throated sparrows and downy woodpeckers. Nearby flocks of juncos and a few robins, and in the ravine, American goldfinches, while overhead an immature northern harrier circled, and flock after flock of Canada geese fly by.
