Earlier in the fall when we first got the cold snap we had a bunch of VT
move through the area and even a few in the yard for a few days, then
nothing. This was really odd because we generally have 4-7 all winter for
the past several winters. It warmed up and I just figured that was not our
normal ones and the masses were still further north.
As you all know it was pretty chilly last few weeks. A few days ago we had
a male in the yard a couple times, then nothing. Yesterday he was back and
surprisingly tame as I was out in the yard with him and he didn't flush
from the tree. I walked back up the deck after morning feeding and he was
in the tree maybe 20 ft away just watching me. I stopped and talked to him
for a bit and let him alone. Today he came for a while, left, then came
back with his female. They ate some and left after a couple hours.
Of course I'm assuming it's the same male, but who knows. So hopefully
we'll get some more regulars for the winter, they are a nice change from
the normal fare.
No photos yet, I'll let them get settled in and comfy. Besides the light
has been terrible.
Jeff
