birdfeedingToday is sunny and warm.
I haven't gone outside yet, but I saw a female cardinal and a small bird that I didn't get a close look at. The small one was darkish and had flashes of yellow on the tail. My first thought was a goldfinch but it didn't look quite right for that. Of Illinois birds with yellow markings, the closest is a female American redstart.
EDIT 8/27/23 -- I fed the birds. I've seen more finches, probably house finches, possibly a female goldfinch.
EDIT 8/27/23 -- I picked up sticks in the ritual meadow.
I've seen a fox squirrel on the hopper feeder.
