That's the size of the lake we go to up north every year (not this year; unless things get much better by late June). There is an eagle that flies around it all the time. So cool to see them in the wild.
Kinda feeding related. I noticed recently that the swarms of blackbirds (such as red winged, cowbirds, grackles, starlings) we were getting at dawn and sunset had disappeared. There were hundreds of them roosting in the trees down below the condo. Decided to look it up and found out that the birds only do this in the winter. By March they are usually gone elsewhere. Turns out it is a phenomenon of coastal areas along the mid-Atlantic (DE, VA, NC). The birds apparently do this for protection against predators (safety in numbers) and to communicate about food sources. They are great communicators. They are very messy when swarming around, so it is nice that they are gone.
Deb, we get all of the ones you mention! That is the group we HATE because they want to take over the feeders. Yeah, we have them right now in a small number but it will get bigger!
A little more bird watching for inside the house today.
Our little Blue Bird of happiness. We have about six that shoe up twice a day. They take turns at the suet feeder.
This guy has me worried. Either there is something dead in the woods next to the house or he saw my last physical report. There are several in the woods and they take turns warming up on the neighbors roof.
