The hummingbirds seem to have left for the season now - I haven't seen any since just before the big rains (northeaster and Hurricane Kyle). I'll keep the feeder up for a few weeks in case a migrant hummer comes through hungry. With all the fall vegetation it's hard to see all the birds. Except of course for the turkeys which stand out in any vista. Usually the turkeys stroll into the yard, but few days ago they were all riled up, probably by neighborhood dogs, and I heard a lot of yoyking in the woods. I went out to fill the feeders and spread seed on the ground, but I couldn't see any turkeys. Until I happened to look up, and there was a big turkey perched in a pitch pine above me. It flew off into the woods and soon after the whole flock walked in for dinner. I guess they wanted to make sure food was ready before they took a chance on the ground. And on the other end of the size scale, the House Sparrows are bopping around and having pool parties. Aside from these, I have cardinals, White-breasted Nuthatches, a few Blue Jays and doves and I saw a Red-bellied Woodpecker last week. I think a hawk flew by this morning. Claire

This is a warbler-smaller than a sparrow but try BirdJam (just Google it) & see if Black Throated Green Warbler might be it. It supposedly sounds like zee-zee-zee-zoo-zee or see-see-see-say-see. I can't think of anything else with that cadence. BirdJam is helpful but after I listen to a few I get mixed up. Susan

So pretty, PF. You are able to paint things so they look so soft and romantic, love it! That's a neat piece of wood too. Bet you created your own design too, didn't you? Great job! Luvs

Carol is probably right. Senna obtusifolia usually has 3 pairs of opposite leaflets. Arachis hypogaea (peanut) is usually 4-foliate.
