Getting some snow here in NW Ohio, Fremont. My backyard visitors so far
today (now Noon):
1 Red-bellied Woodpecker
2 Downey Woodpecker
3 White-breasted Nuthatch
1 Mourning Dove
The usual assortment of Cardinals, Blue Jays, House Sparrows.
Drove behind Fremont's water filtration plant. Silver fish, about 1 to 5
inches, are teaming in this 30ft. wide by 250ft. long output stream. The
warm open stream attracted:
6 Mallards
1 Belted-Kingfisher
60+ Herring Gulls
40+ Ring-billed Gulls
1 Adult Bald Eagle
1 Imm. Bald Eagle
Through telescope, I witnessed the B. Kingfisher perced on a rock and
trying to spear the fish without diving in. Never knew Anne Murray's
song "Fly Away" was about the Snow Bunting. For your pleasure, I put it on
the CREATE A WILDLIFE FRIENDLY YARD site. Scroll down and enjoy the
video/song presentation. Also, there's another MYSTERY BIRD CONTEST- WHAT
IS IT? post as well. Enjoy. Robert
