Today's clear skies and slightly warmer temps did improve things. I finally took a few pictures --- nothing noteworthy, but here are a few of the birds chowing down this afternoon:
Dark-eyed Junco; Mourning Dove & Common Grackle; American Goldfinch; White-throated Sparrow; House Finches dining with a Northern Cardinal.
Unfortunately, the bird show was cut short when they bolted en masse. Even the squirrels froze in their tracks for a couple of minutes. There must have been a hawk in the area, or at least flying overhead, but I never saw it.
Only this Northern Flicker stuck around a while longer not seeming to be all too concerned with the imminent danger.
