February 2023

It has been wet and I have not been able to burn the Prairie. Also, I have not gotten any pictures of birds, but I do have a list of birds that I have seen.
Cedar Wax wing
Red Wing Blackbird
American Robin
Northern Cardinal
Blue Jay
Eastern Bluebird
Black Capped chickadee
Dove
Mockingbird
Red Tailed hawk
Juncos
Brown Thrush
American goldfinch
several different sparrows

Also a couple of Gray Squirrels.

I have bird feeders in the back and the other day as soon as I was done filling the feeders a huge flock of Red winged blackbirds flew in and started eating. I got frustrated, because I am wanting different bird. But then I thought about it. My grandkids may hear stories about the great flocks of redwing blackbirds like I hear about the great flocks of passenger pigeons.
