I couldn’t get all of them on camera, but I have been seeing:
– whatever the flash of yellow is
– juncos
– a bluejay
– starlings
– sparrows
– crows
– I think I spotted the tufted titmouse I saw last year, but didn’t get a good look
– squirrels
– a gray tabby I’d never seen before that I couldn’t see if it was collared or not
One thing I have not yet seen is any chipmunks. I’m worried the feral cats might have flushed them all out.
I did see the oddest thing on my walk to downtown yesterday, though, a dead mouse. No easily discernible cause of death, just dead on the street. Later, it was squished by a car by the time I returned, and the guts looked rather fresh. So maybe it was caught by some flier that became startled and dropped it, with the fall being the cause of death? I found it odd, but wasn’t willing to get a closer look, crosswalk or not.
