Took a short little walk down the road to Lake Runnemede, and saw a lot of birds in about 20 minutes. Big flock robins 7 or so Starlings Flock Cedar WW 6 House Finches- 3M, 3F Goldfinches B-jays 2 White-throated Sparrows-1 immature Pair cardinals Been a very quiet winter at home, but today, driving by a feeder on Chapel Hill N in Norwich I stopped when I saw a flock of birds fly into the trees. First sighting (for me) of about 15 Evening Grosbeaks. A few Blue Jays for good measure. I hope they find my feeders a bout 1/2 mile away- they usually do. 2 Pine Siskins have been coming in at my feeders with 15+ Goldfinches. Have also had many pairs lately: Purple Finch M&F White-breasted Nuthatches Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers Red-breasted Nuthatches Neat to see them arrive in pairs. Have a few xtra male Downys... Other regulars: Large flock of Juncos Small flock Chickadees Blue Jays Ravens- once saw 7 together And the return, finally, of Tufted Titmouse who has been MIA most of the winter.
