Stella and outside birds

Stella flew to the island so she could perch on the container where we keep the cookies.  I suspect she was hoping I'd cave and give her some, but that didn't happen.

As a bonus, though she turned to look at me here, she was watching the outside birds at the birdbath (you can see a grackle in the background) and she'd occasionally shriek and scare them all away.  I think it was a game to her.

I don't think I'll ever match the record set earlier this month, but here are 8 birds on at the same time.  As far as I can tell, mostly sparrows (I think American Tree Sparrows) and one lonely American Goldfinch.
