Birds in the last week that I have seen in the back yard include Flicker, white-throated Sparrow, Song Sparrow, and Hermit Thrush. Tufted Titmouse are coming to my neighbor, but I haven't seen them in my yard. Last week I took a day off to work on my deck. While I was pounding in nails, a Hermit Thrush flew onto the deck about twenty feet from me and proceeded to turn its back to me and go to sleep! After an hour or so, I went in and ate lunch. When I came out, it was still sleeping in the same position. After an hour or more of pounding and drilling holes, it turned around and a while later, finally flew off. Perhaps I should go into the woods and make more noise to lull the birds to sleep.
