Yesterday, was a notable day here at our feeders which overlook Crossroad Farm. Besides picking off my first deer tick, compliments of Lily, our Berner, we had a fallout of over a 100 Pine Siskins and Goldfinch. We have been averaging 40-50 daily. In the midst of the Spring cleanup of sunflower seed, a lone Mourning Dove, calmly endured the flighty chaos.
The air around the farm is surrounded by Cardinals singing and punctuated by a Carolina Wren, a first for us here. We have a friendly Pileated who flys by on its mission to choose an appropriate tree for a nest cavity. The Robins are back in full force as are the Red Wings. The Bluebirds never left but I can’t figure out how to get them to visit the feeders, short of live mealworms which I am not getting involved with.
The snow is all but gone, save some icy spots in the Taylor Floodplain Preserve. And, there is no March storm in sight. Strange. Strange.
