Birdfeeding
Jan. 9th, 2024 04:45 pmToday is cloudy, windy, cold, and wet. It's raining again now. Yesterday started off temperate, but by evening the sky was emitting rain, snow, and possibly slush at different times.
I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows, a male cardinal, and a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder. Yesterday the sparrows were fascinated with the burn barrel for some reason, flying down inside it. In summer they dust-bathe in there, but it's too wet for that in winter. I'm not surprised that I've seen more today, even in the wet, after yesterday's weather discouraged foraging.
