Okay, 100% positive ID on a RUSTY BLACKBIRD at our ground feeding area this
morning. Very clear views of the head area made the ID easy! BTW, we made a
ground feeding area which is safe from cats by creating a "bird pen" with
48" high wire fencing. Of course, a cat can climb it, but the birds have
time to fly before the cat enters the "pen". And I haven't seen a cat try to
enter it. Obviously shrews and chipmunks are not deterred, but in the frigid
weather present so far in December, I don't think that they are venturing
outdoors. There has been an abundance of EASTERN TOWHEES in the feeding
area, so breeding must have been very successful this year.
Cheers, Joan Carr
