September 11, 2020: Bracken ferns
I got home from work and managed a little backyard birdwatching before the worst of the smoke rolled in. I didn't see anyone outside of the usual suspects except for the goldfinches, who have been here continuously since summer, and are now in very large numbers. We had a very mild summer, so the yard is still full of bracken ferns like this one, which normally would have died off some time ago. Some rain right now would be helpful in many ways. Goldfinch, backyard Olympia.
