Since the weather report said that travel could be hazardous for Thanksgiving, yesterday my guests arrived. 13 extra squirrels besides my regular 4 or 5, some I remember from last winter and early spring, either due to habits or battle scares.
By noon the yardlong finchfeeder had not a seat left. My reguars had apparently also issued Thanksgiving invitations and doubled in members and just bevore dusk the first 2 Juncos arrived. A visit to the feedstore down the road is on today's agenda.
