I took this the other day, and was so surprised to see the chickadee on the feeder after I uploaded. I was so intent on getting the composition, I didn’t even notice him. They are the sweetest birds! Love the red leaves in this.

We didn’t see that many birds in California. I don’t know if it was because of the lack of bugs or what. I don’t mind most of the insects here, but the mosquitoes are truly awful. And will they ever invent a repellant that doesn’t feel and smell terrible?
