| With a cold wind blowing, still, it’s amazing any birds are out at all. But the brave Carolina chickadee (poecile carolinensis) could not resist coming out to play and feed with his friends the tufted titmouse couple, always first into the dogwood tree in the morning, along with the cardinals, the finches, the doves, the white-throated sparrows - and a couple of visiting dark-eyed juncos. No sign of the Eastern towhees today. Both red-shouldered hawks flew by overhead about noon. And I heard the large flock of blackbirds, crows and robins, but they never came into the front yard today. The resident mockingbirds were there too, of course. Not much migrant action yet. Too cold, brrr… |
