I have a finch sock outside, and the finches are turning golden. They feed all day. When I walk outside in the morning, the different bird songs are so beautiful, it seems surreal. I hear a couple of woodpeckers nearby too.

I opened my front door a few days ago and there was this fat old porcupine near my porch! I was so excited, never having seen one in person. I closed the door real fast though!

Just before, there were 2 fat medium size birds sitting on the railing of my deck. Yesterday, I saw a crow picking up a small mammal and flying off with it, and had to slow down for a rooster and a dog.

When evening comes, I hear the crows sawing, and that's when I lock my door!
