alatefelineHello friends.
This is a post for anything positive/interesting that IS NOT related to human-scheduled events for this time of year. Please pick which post or posts to read accordingly!
I’ve been observing chickadees and titmice at a bird feeder (CN: rambling about birds) here in NC and am astounded by how many seeds they take in the course of a day. After referring to some bird books, it seems likely that they are caching many of the seeds in various hidey-spots, and possibly swallowing and regurgitating them? More information would be welcome. Also the blue-jays dive into the feeder and whack it and leave it swinging, either because they can’t properly fit to perch on it or because terrifying the other birbs is an effective food-stealing technique; the big fluffy cardinals sit and eat or take seeds over and over for HOURS; mourning doves check the ground under the feeder for dropped seeds; house finches or purple finches seem to come and go in flocks; a small dark bird resembling a phoebe arrived and departed with the snow; and at least one titmouse attacked its reflection in the window.
