From first light, the birds started gathering. First the Cardinals,
Juncos and White throats. They knew where the seed was ... 20 plus inches
down. I headed out and dug a bit and brushed off the feeders and put out
plenty of seed. I just finished my second trip with seed ... the snow is
winning.
Snowbirds so far ...
1 Fox Sparrow - really gorgeous - wish it would show up more often than
every time we get 20 inches of snow.
1 Mourning Dove
1/2 of all the Grackles in Queen Anne's County
1/3 of all the Starlings in Queen Anne's County
... Plus all the regulars.
We still have electricity but my daughter in Sudlersville has had no
electricity since 2:30 am. She has 3 kids, 7 horses and no water. Do not
judge me harshly, but I am glad I am not there! It's just me and my Beloved
and 2 dogs, 5 cats and 32 chickens and lots of grackles
Stay safe and warm.
