Many birds are back!



The feeder is not being visited much except by the odd chicadee and red poll. Juncos seem to be gradually disappearing. They venture further north this time of year. However there are a pair of tree swallows already nesting in a bird house on my other property. I also observed many red-winged blackbirds in the sloughs in the counmtryside.

I saw a white throated sparrow on our grounds yesterday. Starlings have been visiting for the last couple of days. The photo is of the white throated sparrow but it does not show its crown very well. The one I saw had a lovely white and black striped crown.
