We got to Mystic for our brief vacation stay; brother Tom’s bird feeding operation was in full gear. Curiously, we have observed a squadron of crows squawking and hovering around. This was disconcerting to us but not the variety of birds using the facilities.
You can see a small group of sparrows at the main feeder (below); I spotted a chipping sparrow in the lot but, others, such as song sparrows, could be there.
Aside from sparrows and chickadees, there were cardinals, nuthatches, and titmouses (see below).
At the hummingbird feeders nearer the house, there were hummingbirds constantly flying by and stopping to sample the feeders.
On Sunday at around 11:30am, as I sat on the front steps with 200MM lens and tripod pre-focused, then, without warning: target acquired!
