Birds Everywhere!!!!

Still can't say websight.

Oops, you’re right Del. I have deer too and feed corn to them. Birds are fighting for perches many times throughout the day. I’ve been trying to coordinate the frenzy times With those major/minor  feeding activity tables but so far not much similarity. It gets REAL crazy at times. 

[smurfy]

I figured the birds would be more active today since we are supposed to get the blizzard of all blizzards tonight/tomorrow? didn't have many today!!!!!!

[Wanderer]

I heard cardinals today and the murder of crows were rowdy on the river for no reason I could see.  Not really too big of deal but they caught my attention.

[leech~~]

My feeders were getting mugged today. Jay's, Cardinals, few peckers, tons of black caps and sparrows.

Crows will goes nuts if there is an Owl around.

haven't seen a bird this morning yet...  wonder why with all this wind!!!  

[Wanderer]

The trees are bucking and the snow is blowin’ for sure!  I wish I could get a good still shot from inside the house.

The cardinals, chickadees, and bluejays have been very vocal and active over the past week or so in my backyard.

seen my first 2 blue herons flying this morning in elk river. havent seen morning doves yet, but the tue sign spring is here is hearing the first loons!!!!!!!!

[Hawg]

I went from"can't afford to feed them" to about nothing! Happy to still have 4 or 5 pair of Cardinals though that stayed all winter. I think I might have seen a purple finch but not sure.

my best guess would be with most the snow melted there's more ground uncovered and they are finding food that way.

had 1 female purple finch here a few days ago. local woodpeckers here a lot yet. wont be long and bunches of everything will be coming thru. 

[JBMasterAngler]

Already had a red winged blackbird at the feeders today. Fed my leftover eurolarvaes to the robins. 

[smurfy]

I've had Cardinals eating my dried mealworms.  There's plenty of sunflower and safflower for them. first time I've ever seen that!

[Grainbelt]

I blew out the winter debris from under the bird feeder spread out on the yard. The grackles flock into the yard  and clean it up. I am glad to hear that the redwing blackbird had been sighted, the grackles won't be far behind. They can clean my yard and then go away 

[eyeguy 54]

mmmmm, mealworms. cardinals usually hit that feeder first here.
