Yesterday was probably the first day since late December that we didn't have
cowbirds at our feeders. The numbers ranged from 20-100 over that time, with
fewer the last week or so.
Yesterday I saw at least a dozen sizable flocks of snow geese overhead, heading

And just now I had a flock of 20 on the platform feeder here at home!

Hi folks.
Pulled into my driveway today only to see a bunch of cowbirds (both male
and females) scurrying around the ground going after spilled feed. Am

Thanks.

COWBIRDS on our platform feeder this a.m. About two-thirds are males and
the rest females.

Yesterday afternoon around 3:30I had 3 Brown-headed Cowbirds show up at my
feeders in Caroline Center.
Shortly after 8 this morning while driving on Warren Rd I found a
Rough-legged Hawk sitting on a small Cedar(?) across the road from the
