Three days of birds...

[dantesspirit]

It's interesting how the weather affects which birds are out and about versus which are not.

Monday, Tuesday and today, all around the same time of day.



Monday- Bright, sunny, warmer, few clouds that built in later in the day. Light breezes.

Tuesday- Overcast, cooler, windy with high gusts. Threats of rain that never appeared.

Wednesday(today) Overcast, but light breezes. Slowly warming up.

Tomorrow is supposed to be clear and near 80 degrees. So it'll be interesting what birds show up then.

I get juncos when it’s colder. And different frequencies the day before storms come through , and the day of.

I’ve noticed that some of the variance, here, is time of day. For example I rarely see the red-bellied woodpecker before noon. He seems to be a later in the day bird. Ditto the hawks.

I get Juncos in Fall, Winter and early Spring when they decide to migrate.

And yes, I get certain birds before noon and others after. Birds are fun. Heh.

The juncos are still here. This is my first year being aware of them, so I’m trying to pay attention to know when they decide to migrate.

They are such a strange mix of cute and elegant. A tiny something to look forward to during winter! :)

It got warm here, so the Juncoes have moved on. But it's supposed to get chilly again, so they may show up again.

Had a couple days of hits with a new Sparrow- a Savannah Sparrow. I think they were passing through.

I have gotten better at identifying the song sparrow, and this morning I got a definite ID on one new type of sparrow, and a possible id on another!

Hooray!

I can definitely id the White Throated. The Tree and Chipping are still very iffy- they don't sit still long enough to see the black streak eyeliner on the Chipping that the Tree doesn't have. Gave up trying to tell the difference between Song or Field- they're too similar.
