We got around 8" of snow last night...and of course the Rosies were back in full force that afternoon, as it got started. Watching hundreds of them swing through the air (avoiding all the Red-winged Blackbirds) is such a treat. I love it when they visit all day.
And I've discovered birds don't do Daylight Savings Time. LOL They were not here at 6 AM this morning, but were johnny-on-the-spot at seven o'clock this morning. And they're still coming. Yes, Brown- capped, Blacks and Gray-crowned, including some coastal Hepburn's. In addition to all the regulars, I still see the Lewis's Woodpecker, 3-4 times per week, many Evening Grosbeaks, some Cassin's Finches and a Song Sparrow or two. Oddly, I've yet to see a White-crowned Sparrow this year. The most surprising birds I saw yesterday, which were a first for my yard...were Meadowlarks! Isn't it sort of early for them? I know they are around, in the fields around town, but I've never heard of them being in a yard. Perhaps the Red-wings brought them in? There were two; pictures are here: http://www.ruralchatter.blogspot.com/ Beverly Jensen, 719-989-1398 La Veta, Huerfano County Colorado -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds".
