Hello Forum!
All winter, I've had a total of one bluejay in my yard, coming to the platform feeder and scaring all the grosbeaks away momentarily. Well, the other day, I was in my driveway when I hear the distinct call of the bluejay.... coming from 4 different directions!! One was flying overhead, one was in the backyard and two were in the trees in front. This morning, I finally got to see 2 at the same time!
While watching this morning, I also saw a big beautiful pileated fly across the road... second time in less than 2 weeks! What a sight that was! I only ever seem to see him when spring is coming. He's been working on a tree in my backyard this winter but I haven't seen him doing it. Once in a blue moon, I get to see him with his wife but that's only happened a handful of times. Maybe soon!
I've also noticed that I now have at least 5 hoary redpolls instead of the 3 I thought I had.
This winter just keeps getting more and more interesting!
