Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly sunny and cool.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of sparrows, a starling, a male cardinal, a male house finch, and a fox squirrel.  There are probably other house finches mixed in with the sparrows.  The fox squirrel was eating from the hopper feeder at first, then went up the tree to forage among the branches -- I think it was eating the buds off the twigs.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 2/16/26 -- I took some pictures around the yard.

EDIT 2/16/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 2/16/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

I put out a fresh cake of peanut suet and a corncob.

I am done for the night.

Birds

Monday 2/16/26

A mild day today, I think it got up to around 40. We still have a lot of snow on the ground and a lot of birds. We had a group of 4 Wild Turkeys and we have been 4-8 Deer at a time. The deer are raiding the birds feeders and destroyed some arborvitae I had planted as a living fence.

Blue Jays, House Sparrows, Downy Woodpecker, and House Sparrows were all around today.
