I'm forwarding this for Mary, who unfortunately was caught up in the
Yahoo problem:
I had only 21 species for the year in Forest County last Friday and
added a whopping 18 over the weekend! It was so nice to have most of the
snow gone and the birds singing away. FOY for the county were:
Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles, Song Sparrow, Fox Sparrow,
American Tree Sparrow, Wood Ducks, Mallard, Canada Goose, Green-winged
Teal, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Hermit Thrush, Bald Eagle, Turkey
Vulture, Killdeer, Northern Flicker, American Robin, American Kestrel,
and Eastern Phoebes. The farm pond we, and others, like to bird off of
Hwy 52 was all open and had lots of water. We saw Canadas, Mallards and
Green-winged Teals here but very few blackbirds and grackles around yet.
We do only spend weekends in this area and had missed the prior weekend
with the ice/snow so of course, some birds may have been there awhile.
The feeders were very busy with Dark-eyed Juncos and Fox Sparrows and
Red-winged Blackbirds with the usuals. We took all accessible to bear
feeders down before we left so winter better just go away already!
