Greetings and Happy New Year----here in the Lowellville area, there's been a brown creeper regularly visiting the backyard suet feeder. I can't recall ever seeing a creeper do that, although they like to hang with the other typical feeder species in the woods. That's the unusual...now the bizarre---yesterday I saw a honeybee working a blooming dandelion. Numerous dandelions have produced mature seed heads. Various plants are beginning to grow as if it's March. Are phoebes and other early spring migrants gonna show up soon? Later, Craig __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
