Other 'granivores' appeared today, including four mourning doves, all at once, on the windowsill. A red-bellied woodpecker just flew off, a female. The belly actually isn't *red in the usual sense--mostly a strange shade of beige. She is quite shy; as soon as I make any kind of movement, she's off and flying. One Eye was here, too, this morning.

But four mourning doves! Extraordinary. Word has gotten around that there's good chow at this window.
