The first pair of varied thrushes arrived from the mountains. The Swainson’s thrushes haven't all moved south yet.

A less common visitor at my pond, a hairy #woodpecker. He doesn't care about the thrushes hanging around.

I got a rare nighttime capture of a barred owl. Oddly enough, they usually come by after dawn, not at night.

A mob of American robins has taken over my pond. I usually get around a dozen 20-second captures from this camera daily. For a week it's been 70-80 per day, all robins all the time. The pots are #NativePlants twinberry and snowberry to be planted.

I'm adding snowberry and twinberry to my landscape. I have a lot of berries: huckleberry, red huckleberry, blueberry, osoberry, serviceberry, haskap, raspberry, and blackberry, #NativePlants except blueberry.
