I’m feeling feather-brained. Birds saturate my consciousness (though i still don’t dream about them much). So I am counting molt feathers. Around my home I have found Wild Turkey(1), crow (4), Steller’s Jay (1), scrub-jay (2). At Ankney we found a Mourning Dove and a Barn Owl…feather from each.

It was a family group of chickadees that casme into our garden today. Also, a true flock of Bushtits came through–at least a dozen, meaning it was an amalgamation of two or more families. Soon their flocks will number twenty or more.
