Backyard Bird Sanctuary

It's been a pretty good weekend so far. I got a little "Mom-time" yesterday when I went out for a hiarcut and a little shopping. Got some books at Borders ((including the new Hellboy, though they suck and no longer carry BPRD.
Did get an really fun jacket on clearance though. Bomber Jacket in fake leather. I would have preferred real leather but that would have cost LOT more. Then I went home and we watched The Men Who Stare At Goats and Office Space. Office Space was better.


Our backyard, by the way, with a refilled feeder and a new suet-cage, has become a regular backyard bird sanctuary, which has been really exciting.

Bird list:
Female American Goldfinches
Pine Grossbeak
Red Breasted Nuthatch
Chickadee
Bluejay
Robin
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
House Sparrow
Chipping Sparrow
Downy Woodpecker (male and female)
What might be a Hairy Woodpecker
Song Sparrow
Fox Sparrow maybe.

And one chipmunk who climbed the door and had a look inside. In the past we've also had a male and female Cardinal and a Red Squirrel.
