Birds Around Home

December 27, 2007

Stayed Home, snowed all day!

Timeout for lunch, we are having Bridge Tournament #2 and watching the snow come down very fast. You can guess who won BT #1 on Christmas.

Bird wise the pair of Mountain Chickadees and 3 Black capped Chickadees are visiting our feeders frequently. The pair of Red breasted Nuthatches that stuffed sunflower seeds in the cracks of our fence Christmas Day and yesterday have not shown up today. They must have 80 seeds in the fence. Maybe the Chickadees will find them?

About 10 minutes ago a Western Scrub Jay showed up. He ate suet for about 5 minutes and took off. Hope he returns. It's the third one we have had visit (Nov 11, 2002 and Jan 22, 2005) and pretty far east. At least some escaped the West Nile Virus!
