| March 12, 2009 - More Red-winged Blackbirds Arrive |
|
We now have 6 male red-winged blackbirds all calling in tree tops. No doubt they will attract the females when they come through in less than 2 weeks. We were down to just a few pine siskins when the weather warmed up, but now we have about 50. Guess they decided the food here was good for a few more weeks. The chipmunk is definitely out of hibernation. He is scurrying around the yard gathering bird seed between grooming sessions. The fox sparrows should be showing up any day now. They usually spend a few days here on their way north. |
