..I put out seed before daylight and there are perhaps 30-35 birds
appreciating it. Mostly Cardinals, Field and Chipping Sparrows. So I am
looking out there and in the dim, cloudy morning light and there is a
lovely Fox Sparrow and even better 4 Juncos. A species that rarely shows
up on this property anymore with the animals shifting to the north now. In
the 80's-early 90s this was a common feeder bird but it has been years
since I have had them in any numbers on the property and most years now, I
never have them now. I just spent a week in Oklahoma and saw loads of
these, but it is just not the same as seeing them down here. There is also
a White-throated Sparrow and the same towhee who has been around a while.
It is far to miserable for anything but Gladys birding today so this is a
special treat to go with my coffee....And hopefully my hummer gal is still
here. Feral hogs tilled my front yard well while I was gone....Its OK as
it was getting petty compacted, but I was surprised they were able to flip
over two large sacks of garden soil ...Stepped in one of the "water
features" I had out for several years, busting out the bottom. Looks like
they also took out the Day Lilies...Oh well
