Northern Cardinal
With the recent harsh cold snap the ice is becoming more extensive and there are fewer geese and Mallards than earlier.
Bald Eagle
Recently though, we found several Northern Pintails, some Common Goldeneyes, and a single Canvasback. I know it won't be long until new ducks start showing up on the river every day.
Hairy Woodpecker
However, for now things are pretty dull on the bird front.
Rough-legged Hawk Eastern Bluebird on our house. A whole flock showed up yesterday
and sat on all the buildings and flew all over the yard
That eagle looks like he’s on his way over to discipline somebody.
ReplyDeleteThe Bluebirds are back? OH SPRING IS COMING
ReplyDeleteEagle looks cranky!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous that you get to have cardinals there.
Linda, he does! But he was just stalking over to flip the last remnants of a dead fish around a few times. lol
ReplyDeleteLinda, they stay here all year, as do many robins. We saw hundreds of robins yesterday on a late afternoon drive, and at least thirty or forty bluebirds. It is so awesome to find them everywhere!
Shirley, he was walking over to pick up a piece of fish that had gone astray. lol. We do enjoy the cardinals very much and they are especially bright this time of year.
