Some interesting notes just from the last few days. We had more than 20 House Finch on the back deck. They are really enjoying the new window feeder that we fill with sunflower seeds. Various birds are also enjoying our heated birdbath. We had it setup on the back railing last year and hardly any birds were using it. We moved it out front and it's now used on a regular basis.
On Monday, we observed more than 20 Crows in the fields and trees across the road. We also saw 15-20 American Robins in the tree and creek bed next to the house. There seems to be an abundance of woodpeckers as well- Red-bellied has been eating peanuts from the tray feeder, there has been at least 2 male Hairy Woodpeckers and 3 Male and 3 Female Downy Woodpeckers. I love the woodpeckers, so it's nice to have so many out there to watch.
