Again our monthly journal is mostly about birds. In addition to these colorful visitors, we saw many Blue Jays, Red-winged Blackbirds, and Red-tailed Hawks in January. The weather continues to be unseasonably warm, and we are seeing territorial disputes already beginning; particularly Eastern Bluebirds, Brown-headed Nuthatches and American Robins. And we are on the lookout for early hummingbird arrivals.

American Robin
the Intown Hawk 
The kinglet looks like he’s doing a little dance! Are most of these fellas noshing on the “bird food” that you put out for them or are a significant portion going after the seed heads and such from your dormant plants?

Suet is certainly a big draw in cold weather, but there’s a lot of foraging going on in our yard. The Dark-eyed Junco is foraging around the pots on our deck. See our Brown is Beautiful post from January 2.
