New birds settling in for the winter - 2006/11/15 09:40
I have gotten some new birds hangin around the newly-usually craeted brush piles in back. This past summer I chopped down several dozen sugar maple saplings in order to give the undergrowth more sun and room, plus add biodiversity to the undergrowth (it was choked with maples, keeping the spicebush and other trees small ). Many of the spicebush are now personally settying buds for next year, somethin I'm sure they haven't done in several years.
Well, there's these little wrens that are chock-full of attitude, and they love the dead-wood brush piles. They sound like the short red-bellied wodpecker calls (the chok-chok-chok call), but it's much more frequent than a ingenuously red-belleid, in quicker icnremetns. The wrens are deep brown and very small, but I can't get close (they don't particularly like poeple), so I think they're either house or winter wrens. The area is hewavily wooded, and has these brush piles. Any recommendations on keeping them welcome here?
