birds and more birds

We received a donation of bird seed from Home Depot. It had been exposed to moisture so it could not be sold. We wanted to use all (12) twenty pound bags before it went bad so we have been dumping a bag every two days under the mulberry trees. This morning was quite a sight. There were Red-winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles, Great-tailed Grackles, European Starlings, House Sparrows, White Crowned Sparrows, a pair of Cardinals, Brown-headed Cowbirds, White-winged Dove, Eurasian Collared Dove, Mourning Doves, Juncos and Yellow-headed Blackbirds. This is my first sighting of the Yellow-headed Blackbird this year. And, what a sighting. There were over two dozen. What a feeding frenzy this morning!

    Yellow-headed blackbird is one of my favorites and they are not in the area long. Lucky you!
