Some updates

Just some happenings that are going on:

February is National Birdfeeding Month! Get out the feeders! Share the love!!!!!

Barred Owls will begin calling this month. We're keeping an ear out. Hopefully we'll hear or see them soon.

Red-winged blackbirds are coming back soon too! A sure sign of spring on the horizon.

We saw the first horned larks of the season on Sunday. We spotted 4 in the neighbours fields and then one in another nearby field. None have made an appearance at the feeders yet, but we're keeping an eye out for them.

Dave put up a new suet feeder and has attached it to the trunk of a tree. We're hoping that will attract some new larger woodpeckers to our yard (pileated and/or red-headed). Dave has also put up a heated birdbath on the back deck. No takers yet, but again, we're keeping an eye out for them.
