Birdfeeding

Today is cloudy and mild, occasionally drizzling.

I fed the birds.  I've seen bluejays, doves, sparrows, a pair of brown thrashers, and a small flock of house finches.

Today's Adventures

We went out hiking at the Grand Prairie Friends reserve today.  The wildlife diversity was excellent.  :D  We saw a white-breasted nuthatch, heard many woodpeckers and other birds, and heard a barred owl.  Walking the south river trail, there were multiple patches of mud, so I watched for tracks.  Mostly I saw human and dog tracks, some deer, but the most exciting was a probable bobcat!  The tracks were deep and crystal clear, much bigger than housecat (unless someone's Savanna Cat got out, which seems unlikely), rounded toe prints with no claw marks, and no feathering from foot hair like a lynx would typically leave.  The fact that there were dog tracks with clear toenails two feet away made the cat tracks all the more conclusive.  Here is a good comparison of different track sets.
