being leveled for planting but did not see the Golden Plovers though there
were tons of Mourning Doves, Crows etc.
Nearly everything seen was to be expected except my FOS N. Parula The
bird is on private property so I never saw it but it is singing up a
storm. This is a place where they have a territory almost every year. My
concern, as is the case with the swallows, is that these insectivores are
arriving in cold ugly worthless weather and I don't know how they manage
that. For sure they be no insect movement around here recently. Kinglets
are a rarity in the Utley area this winter...Either they have froze out or
moved out. Likewise Orange-crowned Warblers.
A couple of Roadrunners are "moaning"...A female R.B. Woodpecker keeps
working herself to death on the same two trees and has for over a month to
no avail..She chips away at a dead Post Oak and gets a good hole started
then hits that rock hard heartwood and has to give up...She is to
determined and/or stupid to try to find another tree and just starts
another hole on the same tree or its equally dead neighbor.
