January 25, 2012While hiking today in woods north of the nursery I came across a large flock of Red Crossbills feeding on spruce cones. A few weeks ago the same area had Brown Creeper and Barred Owl. More usual sightings included B.C. Chickadees, Blue Jays, Juncos, Robins, Crows, Am. Goldfinch, and Nuthatches.

A real mixed bag of weather has meant hardly any snow until yesterday. Feeder visitors include Tree Sparrow, Junco and Mourning Doves. Blue Jays and Crows are around calling. Predators include American Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk.
