I am seeing far less feeder activity now that there are bare patches of ground showing here and there.

Spring is slow to move north. While I have heard Cardinals, song sparrows and great horned owls calling and establishing territories, finches are slow to change colors this year. Goldfinches are still rather drab. No signs of blackbirds. I did see one vulture last week. Usually by mid March the migrating flocks of robins start to return but this year there is no bare ground to be found.
I am having some activity today,
Not lots but some..
Red bellied woody
hairy and downy woody
blue jay
and a few nut hatches, mostly red breasted ones,
Unless the weather turns bad and we get snow, I could be done with Junco's for this year.
I have a couple of those very tiny finches here now, they look like miniature sparrows,
I found them using Merlin bird ID!
They are listed as rare in this area, Pine Siskins. There are 4 of them here now!
