Fellow feeder watchers, This morning has been a real bonanza at the feeders. A pair of RUSTY BLACKBIRDS have shown up twice so far, but are very skitterish for some reason. The two Chipping sparrows that have been here all winter, are still here. And, the OREGON RACE of Slate colored Junco came back after about a two to three week absence, assuming it's the same bird. The regular suspects included two Sapsuckers, two Harries, Downies and Red Bellies, and a Brown Creeper. Also saw three Bluebirds along the driveway. All in all, an exceptional morning in the yard.
