Snow and Sun

[darkcedars]

 The weather has been bonkers. Yesterday it snowed. Then this morning it warmed up. Only to snow off and on while it was sunny. First crocus bloomed yesterday before the snow started.

One of the mourning doves has decided I'm not worrisome until I'm very close. 

The woodpeckers haven't touched the suet since I put out the new container for it. Have tried hanging it at different angles, today realized maybe the open area should be facing south, as the first container faced south. Turned the hanger in the ground. 

Two plump robins have been in my yard a lot and I hope they are moving in.

I know that feel. It was decent earlier today, but the evening turned colder and windier.

Yay! I still have some crocuses blooming, but they're winding down now.

Mine always burst into flight. Some sparrows and downy woodpeckers are willing to sit overhead and yell at me to hurry up. :D

Good idea. Mine don't seem to care about direction, but sometimes it takes them a while to find the suet if I have to move the feeder.

Good luck, they're nice birds to have around. I've seen a few this spring already. In summer, robins and blackbirds follow the lawnmower.
