Snowy Day in Gates Mills, OH (right where Cuyahoga, Lake and Geauga Counties meet)
Richard Buster Banish
Started this morning as I put out seed @ 7:00
Between 7:00 and 7:40 I observed the following species on my 2 ½ acre lot. Lot is mostly 30-40 year old hickory trees with maples, oaks, beech, sycamores and a few evergreens. I feed the birds that come to my patio hulled sunflower seeds from a tube feeder and sprinkle some around, under patio furniture. I also have a njger thistle tube feeder, a suet feeder and a large hopper feeder (these are on the edge of my wooded area.
