Three birds in the yard at the same today, eating/hopping along on the ground (never went up on the birdfeeder). One was for sure a white crowned sparrow: striking black/white hat, no yellow spots on head, greyish chest wrapping around to the back, brown stripey wings, brown lower back, long tail. At least one of the other birds there at the same time was a mottled brown bird, google says females look the same as males, so maybe the mottled one was a juvile?

Two squirrels in the yard today! Surely no coincidence that today's the first day I made some vegetarian cake and put it in the cage feeder. Some crumbled to the ground which is where the squirrels were eating. The chipmunk seemed mildly interested in the cake in the cage but didn't try hard to eat it, instead went to the seed feeder.
