Some of the male goldfinches are getting closer to their yellow summer plumage. Surprised they've been as faithful as they've been this winter & now into early spring. :scratch:
:happy1: i noticed that yesterday. got lotz of juncos on and around the feeders this morning. been seeing more then the usual geese flying over to yesterday.

still no starlings or blackbirds  :rolleyes: :sleazy: :rotflmao: but no wrens or bluebirds... :confused: :doah: been hearing of bluebird sightings around the red wing area!!!!!

Seen some honkers up here yesterday. Also seen some chithawks(seagulls). Guessing the grackles won't be to far behind.

Important update from the Canadian border.  We saw our first Seagulls today.  Maybe a half dozen of them.

Re: Birds in the back yard

Looks like the juncos are grouping up & moving out. Won't be long & we should start seeing white throated, white crowned  Harris's sparrows show up at the ranch. Filled the thistle seed feeders this a.m. Goldfinches keep grinding away on my thistle seed supply. Will need a loan to keep buying thistle seed for them. Glenn will be happy to hear the blackbirds have been cleaning out the one sunflower feeder. 🌻

Dozens of juncos this morning. All over the yard, not just around the feeders.

Had a tree swallow here yesterday. The sandhill cranes & Canada geese in the wetland were having a contest before sunrise to see which one could make the most racket. No need for an alarm clock.

Re: Birds in the back yard
Yup they jumped right in the feeder and the other birds sat on the deck railings waiting for the grackles to leave.   :angry2:   We did have a goose sitting on the ice here and across the river there were about 5 of them on the peoples yard eating grass.

Re: Birds in the back yard
Well, I'll try to make it short. But momma caught wind that the hummers were on there way back so she put out a feeder just to see I will say. Fast forward my shoulder is doing great,  I grabbed a hockey stick and started firing balls around for Remi and sure enough I hit a feeder square,  it went flying and losing some well thought out solution momma whipped up. I ain't got it in me to tell her, just gonna sit back and say....There back!!
