I have a flock of 38 redpolls in my yard, east of St. Cloud. There are 3 tree swallows huddling low in the shrubs on the edge of my wetland. Open water is again covered with slush. I haven't seen the two meadowlarks I hosted during last weekend's storm, but there are many juncos, a few fox sparrows and tree sparrows feeding as well.
I wonder if the juncos appreciate the fact that the fox sparrows continue to keep seed uncovered for them? Friends that are "scratchers" should always be appreciated!
