Birders:
Have heard a pygmy owl calling in the evenings twice in the last 5 days. We have
About 3 inches of snow, which may quiet the bird down as the realization of the
Lack of spring sets in. Have not seen it yet.
Pinyon jays (12-18) have been around the feeders the last 5 days, but unreliable, of
Course. Plus the usual suspects, pygmy and white-breasted nuthatches, both
Chickadees, pine siskins and American Goldfinches, Steller’s Jays, BB Magpies,
Hairy woodpecker, house and Cassin’s finches, and usually 4-5 kinds of juncos.
Depressed to hear that tree swallows and bluebirds are being seen already, as
I haven’t cleaned out my 35 bird boxes yet!!
If anyone wants to come by, especially for the pinyon jays which are probably
70 miles from good pinyon/juniper habitat and have been local for at least 24
Years, give me a call. Birders always welcome.
