Re: mustard/kale/birds


We've had birds galore here, including 5 Pine Siskins that haven't been here
in several years. We have both Downy and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers as regular
visitors. Every now and then we get a Red-Headed or Pileated. Haven't seen a
Hairy in years. What woodpeckers do you have?

The goldfinches have been working over the goldenrod seedheads, though also
chowing down at the thistle feeder. It's fun to watch them bobbing up and
down, up-and-down on the seedstalks.
