Lucky you! If the birds are anything like as interesting as their names, you must be in heaven.

We're heading for higher ground ourselves later this morning. Not to mountains, though, just to the Texas Hill Country. Still, it'll be nice to escape the total flatness of Houston for the weekend, and we should get to see some birds we don't get in our area.

Even in a remote place, BFB is still looking at feeders:-O Enjoy your trip:t:
 
well that's a turn up for the books, italy beat france and we get a strange sparrow.

which turns out to be a male reed bunting,

never got one of those when i lived near water, now we have one and we're no where near any
 
Feeding Updates: Had not much time this morning but the good thing is the nights are getting lighter which means i can do more garden birding...

Starlings, Sparrows and a blue tit, Along with a Reed bunting. But I'm finding it hard. I'm not sure if i'm seeing buntings or just sparrows they look so a like.

Would love if the Chaffinch returned and the goldfinches
 
Really busy at the feeders this week as we've had plenty of snow and temperatures down to -14°C. Lots of Common Redpolls (islandica/rostrata), Redwings, Blackbirds and Starlings all day and I've had up to three Bohemian Waxwings this week too, which is a real pleasure. I have large flocks of Snow Buntings flying over and sitting on my roof too but they are quite reluctant to come down. Ravens are also flying over all day and sitting on the lampposts but don't come into the garden much.
 
a mixed morning of rain and sunshine here,LTT,ROBIN,GREENFINCHES,GOLDFINCHES,SPARROWS,COLLARED DOVES,BLACKBIRDS,BLUE TITS,GREAT TITS,CHAFFINCHES.greenfinches numbers getting bigger every day,blue tit went into the nest box this morning,came out after about 2 minutes,will watch with interest there.:t:
 
The last couple of days have brought a wonderful variation of birds to the feeders. No new species, but a lot of seasonal friends.

The wonderful grackles have returned, but I don't mind they have been staying on the ground and out of the tray feeder. We also have had a healthy looking trio of robins visiting the yard, so hopefully spring is on it's way! We still have a large group of white-throated sparrows and slated juncos, and house sparrows. Mixed in with the occasional fox sparrow, song sparrow and a few weeks ago when it snowed a field sparrow. Our regulars are still around, mourning doves, blue jays, cardinals, and some starling. The last couple of mornings have been filled with activity! This morning a red bellied woodpecker stopped by and was a bit disappointed that the suet container was empty, but has a nice snack on some mixed seed. I filled the cage back up and hopefully it returns. I've been cutting back on keeping as much food out, because we have had a duo of raccoons visiting at night.
Thanks for reading and happy birding!

Lol... Matty at home has assured me he is keeping the feeders topped up. Some special birds here. Crested serpant eagles perched on telegraph poles sums it up realy. All news here about japan so birding has to be taken in the context as a luxury really... still a trip of a lifetime...Catch you later folks:)
