Hi all,
Have not posted in a long time.
My Coopers Hawks are back in full force this winter reigning terror on a daily basis to all my back yard birds. Poor Junco was a victim yesterday. For three years, I've been waiting to see a Starling caught but I'm still waiting. Why are the most annoying birds always escaping. Mostly, it's doves that I see killed.
I got a new product this winter. Tetra Pond Bird island. It's suppose to keep a hole in the ice for the fish and allow the birds to bath in the water above it. However, it not working as advertised. The water tends to stay below the holes in the island so the birds can't get to the water. Too bad because the concept was a great idea. I called them on it hopefully they'll make some adjustments so future versions will work better.
Lots of Blue Jays, House Finches, Song and White Throated Sparrows, Goldfinches, Cardinals and occasional titmouse and no chickadees. I don't know why it's so difficult to get them in my yard. Had the same problem last winter too.
Anyway, I'm really loving the four seasons here in NJ. I don't mind the cold since it's only for a few months. With snow and everything it sure makes life more interesting!
Stay warm by the fireplace makes for a great night.
Happy birding,
Jeff
