I was surprised to see a rare (for us) yard bird on the patio and
surrounds, an Ovenbird.
Actually, we have seen one in the past a time or two in fall (and,
spring, if I remember correctly).
We have a woodchip path and that seems to be a draw.
We're on West Hill in the city.
I guess gardening for wildlife pays off!
We've also enjoyed an array of butterflies including Giant
Swallowtail, Painted Lady, Black Swallowtail, Spicebush Swallowtail,
Monarchs and Skippers.
All beautiful.
