I discovered the baby crow yesterday just before I cut the grass. It was dead out in the open. Either the parents did not feed it properly or it died from injuries received falling out of the nest. It did not look as if it had been mauled. I guess we should have taken it with us to Regina and fed it ourselves.
The bird feeder was completely empty when we arrived back. All the seeds had been dumped on the ground. Sonia picked up half a feeder full of seed and deposited it back in the feeder!
There is a lot of traffic at the feeder: house sparrows, chipping sparrows (photo),goldfinches, and the odd chickadee.
The humming bird feeder is almost empty. I think that perhaps it is clogged or the nectar is old as I did not see a single hummingbird yesterday.
