Birds in the back yard

[glenn57]

Saw 6 Robin's on the Maple tree.  They never come to the feeders. Anyone else notice that?   

put out a feeder with mealworms in it, you'll have robins!!

Will wax worms or Euro lave work?  I got some of those!! 

give it a whirl!!👍👍

Saw a couple white blobs about a 1/4 mile away in the field this afternoon. At first I thought it was snow, then realized the only snow left is in the ditches & fencelines.They weren't in the backyard so got the birding glasses out. Yup, just a couple swans playing in a puddle. Later tonite when I was grilling I heard swans in our pond area. Lotsa geese flying over about then too. Way cool.

Good sign Dotch,spring is knocking at the door,I headed to nebraska to hunt snow geese after I got the "get your arse down here" call and pics of several 1000 snow geese only to show up with 10" of fresh snow,not a goose to be seen,they all went back south when the blizzard blew thru,oh well it was good to see old friends.

yesterday afternoon had abunch of robins picken thru the dead leaves for ?

I love the sounds of swans and geese in the spring.

Nice H.D.,so what the heck is a  "IBIS?" looks like a plastic bag.

It's a shore bird with a long red beak. It was a good 60 yards away. The best picture I could get with my phone...oh well..

LOL....gotta ask,about the sidewalk,it just ends for no apparent reason,left over concrete from a nearby job maybe?

Oh even zooming in looking for this IBIS,still can't see it,but thanx for the pics.

you get in some fishing or just ppl watching?

[glenn57]

i.ve keeping an eye out for doves and robins.....nuttin yet. think we have to much snow on the ground around here ?????i have been hearing cardinals more often though!!!!!!

[mike89]

been seein doves here...

[tangle tooth]

My back yard has had doves over a week. Still see our cardinal almost daily. No Robbins yet.
I did hear what I think was an eagle but I never saw it.

[LPS]

The neighbor has a couple of eagle nests in his trees.  I see this morning one is in the pasture picking up hay to bring to the nest.  They have landed in our trees but haven't built a nest yet.

That's cool LP,lucky you,been a few years since I had a family of "cooper hawks" in my pine tree stand,it was much fun watching the young grow and learn to hunt,at the time we had little ankle bitter pup's I  was concern one of these small dogs would be scarfed up one day,as they had no problem hitting rabbits.

[Dotch]

Speaking of that, must've been an owl hit a bunny overnite. Nearly full moon. Fur all over the yard. Have heard some great horned owls at nite when I do lamb check. Before sunrise, the cardinal sings his lungs out from the windbreak as I'm dumping water buckets. No better music to start the day.

Done seen my first 2 robins... So I put out the mealworm feeder!!!

I'm such a swell guy.

I read or was told years ago that when you see an Eagle to think of a loved one that is no longer with us.  Their spirit my be in that Eagle watching you!  I like that thought!

Explain "mealworm feeder" last summer when blue birds showed up I put they're houses out and meal worns in a old small bowl,darn piggy robbins always cleaned the worms out before blue birds got a taste.maybe a mealworm feeder is the way to go?
