All I've got today is a juvenile White Ibis in the neighbor's yard.

The songbird mix seed Dad got me last time didn't have enough sunflower seeds in my opinion. So when he went to Home Depot yesterday, I told him to get Black Oil Sunflower Seeds. He brought them home, and I put alternating scoops of each in the bird feeder. Which, by the way, is keeping the squirrels at bay. They sit on the ground and eat, which is fine. In fact, today I threw out some of the sunflower seeds to draw in the birds and it worked like a charm. Saw my Tufted Titmice and the Red-Bellied Woodpecker. I had to watch from inside though, because it was thundering. Tampa - the lightning capital of this hemisphere! (That's true, by the way.)
