BACK YARD SNOW BIRDING - 1/30/2014

1/30/2014

With 4+ inches of snow here in East Carolina, there is not a way to get out on the roads--I would love to get to Mattamuskeet just to see the Lake in this snow, but---no way. So, today I spent a couple of hours checking out the birding in the backyard-- and sometimes the best is right in our own backyard!! I wanted to see how many species are using the feeders. The birds are really hungry and this is when our feeding efforts really are needed. I was quite amazed at the quantity of birds and pleased with the variety. Of course the Cardinals, the Baltimore Orioles , and the Bluebirds are the most colorful and they were numerous. The Orioles were really going after the grape jam, but were also grabbing the peanut butter balls. It was interesting that a mockingbird was guarding the grape jam and trying to keep the Orioles away from it. Most all the birds were going for the peanut butter. They are all pretty, but the snow makes them special! I enjoyed the couple of hours taking pics, until Beau, my black pug decided he wanted to cavort in the snow!! Then the birding was over!! --I hope you enjoy the pics below---
