October Autumn

Birds were active this day. I even managed to capture a chickadee photo since many of the trees don't have many leaves.
I saw robins, a sparrow, a woodpecker, and chickadees.


This is a not very good photo of a downy or hairy woodpecker. I'll post it because it's all I have so far of that bird.
