I've had Blue Jays and Chickadees all winter....10 to 15 at a time with just black sunflower seeds in the feeder. Just recently, the Cardinals have been showing up.

This afternoon, I had a Morning Dove at the feeder...haven't seen one of those in awhile....

Finches, Blue Jays mostly here. Seen & heard a couple Eagles around in the last week or so. Got  some Crows working the compost pile too. Haven't seen any Cardinals though

Haven't seen the doves or robins yet. You know what they say. Once the robins come back, they get snowed on at least twice!

Been a strange year for birds. Still watching for my waxwings.....eagles are returning about two weeks early this year, too. Should be watching for some sandhills, too.

Have had quite a few robins after the snow left. Most appear to be males. It's been freezing at night again making it tougher for them to find earthworms. Looks like they're hitting the crabapples and American cranberry in the meantime. Have had a couple snows on their tails here so one more ought to do it.  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
