A pair of red-breasted nuthatches have returned to our yard.  I don't know if they migrate south during the winter months or just stay up in the woods.  It is nice to have them back.  When I was sprinkling thistle seed on a perch this morning, one of them landed on the suet block 12 inches from my face and stayed there for a few minutes.

The male bluebird continues to visit in the morning and is calling for a female, but I have not seen the female for 5 days now.

We have a steady stream of canadian geese "V"s flying over, always with loud honking going on.

All but 4 dark-eyed juncos have headed north.  We usually have a few that stay through the summer and nest in our spruce tree grove.
