Living in the sticks in Coffee County now has opened the door for a lot more
backyard birds. This morning at a little after 11:00, four Purple Finches
showed up at my feeders for the first time. I'm looking at one of the males
right now. Not sure if this would be considered early, but I think it's a good
sign that a bunch may show up and hang around here all winter. Hope so, anyway.
Also, there's a flicker out there right now, and WB Nuthatches back and forth
to the feeders. Bluebirds come around at times. All this action is against the
backdrop of autumn leaves. It's a huge turnaround from the old backyard in
Murfreesboro. For middle TN, I don't know if it gets much better than this.
Best,
