Birdseed in a cake pan on top of the snow within arm reach from my balcony door
attracted juncos, cardinals and assorted sparrows. My cat, as always, prefers
the squirrels. Maybe today will yield more variety.

Our yard snow birds included a couple hundred grackles, and a pair of of
Rusty Blackbirds. All birds were eager visitors to any seed or suet we
provided today.

Lots of action in the yard today with the snow. I'm sure you all had a lot
of bird activity. Grackles seemed to be the number one most abundant bird, but
a watchful Cooper's Hawk kept them in check. A Red-shouldered Hawk kept watch
most of the day. Suet was the biggest draw with Pine warbler, Ruby-crowned
kinglet, Bluebird and Downy's nibbling all day. My best superstars were the
Brown-headed Nuthatches enjoying seed and suet.
Stay warm and enjoy the snow.
