Adding to the List

The wildlife list, that is.

We are in the city, just a few blocks from the highway. Just 10 blocks and a river (walking distance) from Mike Brown Stadium. Yet we get a surprising variety of creatures in our little postage stamp of a back yard.

We've posted our list before, and today I need to add a few birds to the list. The first, is a first for me, too. Today I saw an Eastern Towhee (picture above) for the first time.

Here are our additions:
