More garden birds - 19th Oct

The weather is cooling down quite rapidly, with lots of migrants passing through. White-throated Sparrows still predominate among the sparrows, but a couple of Eastern Towhee have made an appearance recently. A Downy Woodpecker has made the suet feeder its regular haunt, and two White-breasted Nuthatch have done the same with the seed hopper. Northern Cardinals are very regular. Today both Common Grackle and Red-winged Blackbird came to the seed for the first time.
