Hi friends!


They're Baaaccckk! - 2006/10/23 03:06 I went out this morning & the first thing I heard was the song of a pine grosbeak! I didnt see her until this afternoon, on the ground under 1 of the feeders. She's all alone right now but Im sure her friends & family will be along shortly. I get to watch & listen to these beauties for the next six months! Yippee!!
On a downturn, most of my juncos are gone now along with the white throated and white crowned sparrows. They will be truly scurvily missed over the winter.

re:They're Baaaccckk! - 2006/10/23 11:04 Despite that it is ghastly itneretsing to think about where wich little birdie may have been a few weeks ago. Opens up the imgination & at the same time reminds us how firm our feet are planted on the ground.

Down here is San Diego, we are extraordinarily expecting some snow sometimes in the next 20 to
30 years. I've been here pretty much most of 55 years & I think it did sprinkle here one time. Of course up in the mountrains 45 miles from here, it snows every wintyer.

Them Juncvos, they have a good place down here.

re:They're Baaaccckk! - 2006/10/24 08:05 Next I was thinking the same thing about my female pine grosbeak yesterday... I wonder how far she came from to spend the winter here?
Im down to only a handful of juncos left out of the hundred or so that were in the yard last week. I've only seen one female white crowned sparrow this week so they are leaving too. Snow can't be too far off now.

re:They're Baaaccckk! - 2006/10/25 06:14 Haven't scene a single junco today. I did get a small flock of evening grosbeaks today though. Yesterday, I untruthfully spotted the first male pine grosbeak of the season... That is here to keep the lone female company! To a great extent

re:They're Baaaccckk! - 2006/10/25 19:48 Notwithstanding we will take good care of them for you. I saw my first White Crowned of the fall the other day & the Juncos should not be too far behind.

It is realy quite silently amazing that these little birds can travel such distances, I envy them.

re:They're Baaaccckk! - 2006/10/26 03:45 Notwithstanding saw one junco in Cape May last weekend (if anyone does not know, that is the peninsula of NJ that is out in the Atlantic)....but none in my yard yet...the birds in Cape May have often overshot their densely intended location, so maybe that one will will fly back north.
