Latest goings on in the yard

Posted on July 16, 2013 by Liz Stanley

Here we go again

Posted on April 22, 2013 by Liz Stanley

The snow has pretty much all melted, but we have yet another winter storm on the way. I’ve been spreading seed, raisins, dried mealworms and suet pellets on the ground for the fox sparrows, robins and hermit thrush (yes, I … Continue reading →

New yard bird!

Posted on April 14, 2013 by Liz Stanley

This morning I saw a ruby-crowned kinglet flitting around the garden, going after some of the seed heads of the stalks I left up over the winter. I ran out right away to try and get a photo, but it … Continue reading →

Spring snowstorm brings out the native sparrows…

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Liz Stanley

This morning during the snow storm, we had quite the feeding frenzy of sparrows! Many more juncos than I’ve seen all winter, plus a couple song sparrows, several tree sparrows, and more fox sparrows than I’ve ever seen (at least … Continue reading →

Winter Storm in April!

Posted on April 10, 2013 by Liz Stanley

Winter has been fairly uneventful in the yard. No unusual sightings. We have had some signs of spring here on Overlook Circle, including a couple of yellow-bellied sapsuckers in the maple trees and the return of chipping sparrows. Goldfinches are … Continue reading →
