Hi folks,
I was on my way out the door for a meeting today when I glanced out
the kitchen window to a new yard bird in our south Blount County
yard!
We currently have 5 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS along with 2 COMMON GRACKLES and
a lone, adult male BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD. We've never had rustys
before, and only a handful of sightings of cowbirds. Grackles
generally show up a few times a year in hordes, so even that sighting
is relatively unusual.
Besides that, we have the normal yard visitors:
DOWNY WOODPECKER
RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER
SONG SPARRO
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW
EASTERN TOWHEE
EASTERN BLUEBIRD
BLUE JAY
AMERICAN CROW
EUROPEAN STARLING
NORTHERN CARDINAL
CAROLINA WREN
AMERICAN ROBIN
WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH
CAROLINA CHICKADEE
TUFTED TITMOUSE
AMERICAN GOLDFINCH
HOUSE FINCH
PURPLE FINCH
DARK-EYED JUNCO
Charlie
