For a short time this afternoon a flock of 10 Evening Grosbeaks  
visited the backyard bird feeding area here in Norwich village. These  
were the first Evening Grosbeaks detected at this location during 2014.

Also, in recent weeks, a male Red-bellied Woodpecker has been coming  
daily, including today, to take away sunflower seeds from the feeding  
area. Other species detected today in the vicinity of the feeding area  
were 3 Mourning Doves, one each of Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, 4 Blue  
Jays, 3 American Crows, chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, an American Tree  
Sparrow, 10 juncos, at least 5 male and at least 4 female Northern  
Cardinals, and male and female House Finches.
