Winter Birds 2021-2022
There has been a lot of activity around the bird feeders this winter. I’ve added some mealworms for the bluebirds and peanuts for the titmouse and blue jays.
Animalia
November Bluebirds
It is getting cold but I’m still seeing bluebirds. Will they stay through the winter months?
The Birds, Bees and Bears
I am enjoying sitting on the deck watching the bees visit the last blossoms before the killing frosts. Bluebirds have returned for one last time to my feeders. However bird feeders are attractive to a larger animal.
Eyes On Owls
Marcia and Mark Wilson founded Eyes on Owls in 1994. They present wild owls as an educational enterprise. The owls they care for are permanently disabled and cannot survive in the wild.
A Black Bear Visitor
Fall has arrived and the bears are preparing for hibernation. I had this black bear visit me today to check out my bird feeder. He (or she) showed NO FEAR of this puny human.
Ravens
Raven fascinate me. Almost every day a see a few fly overhead and hear them croaking and clicking. I invite them down for some dog food but they never stop in. I decided to visit them in one of their popular habitats.
