Hi All,
Last week David Raines had Fox Sparrows. Today I have 13 Fox Sparrows under the
feeders. I started out this morning with 5, then 7, then 8, then 13 - a new
record for our yard.
A few days ago David had a flock of male Red-winged Blackbirds, then I got a
flock of male Red-winged Blackbirds.
Day before yesterday David had his first female Red-wing.
Yesterday I had my first female Red-wing.
Now I'm waiting for my Bald Eagle to show up.
On another note Johnny Ratliff called me to say that last Thursday, Feb 28, he
had a flock of 20 - 25 Tree Swallows around his place at the mouth of Little
Prater. Yesterday they were checking out his bluebird boxes.
I had a female Purple Finch on a feeder today.
Here is a photo of one of the Fox Sparrows. I could never get them together in
one area to get a group photo.
