Friday Birdfeeder Blogging

Eight inches of snow is inducement for many birds to come and visit the feeder. Today I had the usual juncos and black-capped chickadees, with blue jays and a northern flicker later in the day.


The blue jays scatter seed everywhere, creating a small avian-mammalian ecosystem. The squirrels were scrambling for the debris below, as always. The rabbits are shy, and wait for dark to come out at night and graze on the detritus. My yard has so many tracks in it, you'd think I had a small herd of children!
