Day 25: What? Who said that? Did I hear an inquiring, "Churp?" I looked up from my crocheting and saw parrots...Porch Parrots, Evening Grosbeaks, Coccothraustes vespertinus, one of my favourite birds and common spring/summer guests at the feeders. I've seen them in January (in fact, if any of you recall the saga of Friend, it took place over three weeks in January and February), but not November, and I certainly wouldn't have expected a flock. It's a small conclave, maybe a dozen or so birds, males and females, but still they made very short work of today's ration of black-oil sunflower seeds. Something tells me I'd better up the quota. Gotta keep the beaks happy!
