We’re starting to see the recent influx of House Finches at the suet feeder. At least we see the female ones. It’s still a mystery why the males are not showing up on camera, though we can look out the window and see them at the birdbath. And we verified that these are female House Finches. Those stripes on their heads are unmistakable. In this video, we see one trying to cling to the feeder.

Here’s that one-eared squirrel again (assuming it’s the same animal). The squirrels have been all over the platform feed this week. There’s an entertaining video of D racing out to scare them away, but I promised I wouldn’t post it. Too bad. It’s really funny.
