Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching 2011
I have about 10 feeders in my yard and lots of birds. Flocks of starlings descend and empty everything that they don't want on the ground and the pigeons just wait for the easy pickings. Lots of Blue Jays and chickadees and some goldfinches and sparrows. Yesterday a bird flew down and I thought it was a hawk because everyone else left in a hell of a hurry. Turns out it was only a woodpecker so I don't know if it was mistaken identity or what but he had the place to himself.
