Hi all, I was having lunch in the kitchen when I heard a call which seemed to be coming from inside the house. I was wondering if my computer was on and something is coming from there or is one of my recorder on by chance and that is from where I am hearing noise. But still decided to look outside in the yard. I did not see anything, as I was about to duck inside the CAROLINA WREN called again and this time I saw him, he was in my kitchen vent, no doubt he sounded close, He looked like was inspecting if that would be a good spot to roost. I think it would be, though it wont be as warm as other houses at least he will have 55+ temp and can get some nice waft of Indian spices!
I spent most of the day out doing some work and usual resident birds hung around. Specials were Red-breasted Nuthatches, Golden-crowned Kinglet and of Course Carolina Wren. Another surprise was a basking Garter Snake! This is the second time I have seen a snake in my yard this year. I was very happy to see it! Also, I saw some Geese heading south but not many and a couple of Cabbage Whites flitting around and feeding on Taraxacum and glodenrod flowers.
