Wandering about the Metro Area I noticed that robins were everywhere. Some in large flocks. what was unusual was the many robins in the snow under the crabapples. I have seen tree swallows hunting insects above open water of lakes and rivers, but today they were flying around above the pavement of an office area. Still finding large number of juncos. They were feeding in the feeders rather than below them. And, we had a Fox Sparrow below the feeder still. I had a flock of close to a hundred Ring-billed Gulls flying over Quigley. And, two TV's over the cities.
I checked out two of my duck houses. One was empty and one had two Wood Duck and one Hooded Merganser egg. Yesterday was the first day that I saw both ducks in the water nearby. We usually get both ducks laying in the same houses. The Hoodies have rounder eggs than the more oval Woody eggs.
