9 Feb 14 In contrast with the ongoing discussions of lakes freezing, a pair of Brown-headed Cowbirds (as in one male, one female) arrived twice to my feeders at 147 Hile School Road. My observations were separated by about 3 hours and both birds were there both times.
They were of course, very fluffed and looked a lot heftier than their summer selves. The other feeder birds were our regulars: a male Red-bellied Woodpecker, a female Hairy Woodpecker, a passel of Black-capped Chickadees, one Tree Sparrow and 2-3 Mourning Doves. (The feeder went unfilled 9 Jan til Saturday, so these were the alert locals).
