Both species are very opportunistic, and so if they're going to be on a farm they're going to be where there's silage and grain, or in town where they can eat french fries, or in a suburb where there are lots of sunflower seeds. :)sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-7351826074351199142010-02-17T16:54:53.380-05:002010-02-17T16:54:53.380-05:00That's so interesting Sweet Bay ~ I wonder why...That's so interesting Sweet Bay ~ I wonder why not?

We counted 18 on our birding tree this morning - it's just outside our kitchen windows - but I only have to put my hand on the doorknob and they fly away. So it's hard to get a picture.<br /><br />The Hermit Thrush and Phoebe are gorgeous. I've never spotted them but I'm going to check my Island bird book to see if they come this far north.Islandsparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474765495506044446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-78566781003249195622010-02-17T11:39:21.212-05:002010-02-17T11:39:21.212-05:00Beautiful pictures!thanks for your visit and comme...Beautiful pictures!thanks for your visit and comments.I've never seen such a blue headed bird! what 's his name?
