A Reminder from a Finch

Crossing the yard yesterday I heard the familiar feeee...feeee... of a goldfinch. Many of them used to hang out here when I kept the feeders stocked with their favorite niger thistle seed. I have been wanting to clean and disinfect the feeders before refilling them. My finch neighbor was reminding me that I need to get to that soon.

Yesterday a chipmunk was scolding someone or something. I suppose he is putting on that winter fat and someone was interfering with the feeding frenzy.

A neighbor is having bear problems. Word is it killed one of their Great Pyrenees guard dogs. These dogs live with the sheep and keep the coyotes away. I say poor dog and, maybe soon, poor bear.
