The birds were foraging between the snow squalls at the feeders. Observed a group 12 Pine Siskins feeding along side a group of A. Goldfinches and A. Tree Sparrows. A large group of Cardinals filled the trees and seemed so bright against the white snowfall. One Hairy Woodpecker, several Downy, and Red-Bellied were working the trees and often coming in for close looks to the suet feeder. One male Red-winged Blackbird made an appearance...think Spring!! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
