| This is, no doubt, a Carolina chickadee [poecile carolinensis] hiding seeds in the bark of a dogwood tree near the Jefferson County-Blount County line in Middle Alabama. The mercury only made it up to 55 today, but it was the nicest day of the bird count. Unfortunately, the birds were off playing in someone else’s yard for the most part this afternoon. The robins were back, but they are not convinced its spring, yet. I chased one around the house trying to get a photo worth posting. No luck. Maybe the good folks at Cornell and Audubon ought to consider moving this bird count event forward a week or two. The spring migration will be in full-swing in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait to see those cedar waxwings and grosbeaks again. Maybe I can get a serviceable shot of that amazing, almost purple blue grosbeak |
