Birdseed sales are significant in this area. I haven't seen the small birds, except one, a woodpecker, in a couple days, which is unusual. But when a raven did a treetop overflight today he set off a forest of motion sensor alarms. Still can't see them, but they are out there, probably waiting for the temoerature, -12, to come up.
-12? Ouch. Poor things. You probably can't see them moving around because their poor little feet are probably frozen stuck to the tree branch. 65 here.......but having to dodge tornadoes every few days.
We've been cold this week (lows in the -40's to -50). My birds are still coming out everyday to feast at my Birdy Buffets. Plenty of chickadees but I haven't seen the greyjays in a week now. I've been worried these past few weeks about my nightly buddy, Rocky the flying squirrel, but he has shown up the last few evenings in time for me to see him before going to bed.
