What is notic We still see the catbird from time to time, just now is one of the times. There were a couple Grackles in the grapevine a few minutes ago and a couple starlings. The big surprise was we had a flutter of Redpolls fly in and the pop up into the maple along side the drive. I don't have Niger seed so we need to get some of that. Sparrows include the Song, numbers down quite noticeably and the White Throats. Their numbers seem about the same, maybe a few less. I still haven't seen an American Tree Sparrow nor a Chipping Sparrow. Very sad about that. Aside from that we have the usual Chickadees, Juncos, Blue Jays, Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers and a brown Tree Creeper. American Goldfinches are attending throughout the day. Numbers are way down for them as well. We can't decide if it how food is being offered, we don't scatter it over the septic mound or under the trees anymore, so of course the bird count will drop. WE do still have a few Mourning Doves but not the large numbers of 30 - 80 + they were our usual numbers. We have been adopted by 9 big crows. They are really neat birds. The are used to our movements so I can get photos and paint them. One comes and peeks into the studio window at times. I am not supplementing their feed even though I think that is what they would like. The Nuthatches seem to have departed and are missed. We are not seeing any injured birds very strangely considering the winds. The grape/kiwi vine is a sorry tangle that might never get sorted. It is difficult to see who is there these days but hopefully we will get a warm period where we can assess the damage and see about new supports.
