The 7.3" snowstorm here at Fenwick West, my home in northwest Hocking County, on Sunday(March 24)brought birds flocking to my feeders. Birds seen Sunday-Monday include: Pine warbler. Dark-eyed junco. Song Sparrow. Purple finch. Carolina chickadee. Downy woodpecker. Goldfinch. Tufted titmouse. Red-breasted nuthatch. Cardinal. White-breasted nuthatch. House finch. Hairy woodpecker. Mourning dove. Carolina wren. Red-bellied woodpecker. Fox sparrow. In mid-afternoon, on Monday, a flock of 9 Wild turkeys spent more than 30 minutes scratching away snow and leaves, searching for food where a meadow meets the woodland near my house. Later in the afternoon the birds vanished from the feeder behind my house. The reason was a Screech owl(gray-phase)that had perched on a bird house attached to the back of my house just 9 feet from the feeder. All of the birds then were at the feeder in the yard on the east side of the house.
