Hi Cobirders, Yesterday I had a Red-shafted Flicker come to my
Thistle feeder twice and actually seemed to eat some seeds stayed
awhile. It tried to get
sunflower seeds from the caged feeder hanging at the patio but could
not get any seed .
A week ago a Downy Woodpecker seemed to get some seed at the thistle
feeder.
I think there may be no insects or even larva available due to
drought. I did see Flickers a year ago eat seed on the drum feeder
when ground was covered with snow.
I saw a Robin in the front yard Yesterday also. Not seen one here for
over a month. Did not stay long.
The number of Redwing Blackbirds roosting next door on the dead trees
has doubled to about 200.
Snow we had was less than a inch earlier in the week and is all gone
today.
Winter starts Dec. 23rd Wed,
