I have had very little bird activity all fall, and in winter, things only got more lively during frosty times with lots of snow. This is great for the budget, but I am looking forward to spring because that is when the summer guests migrate here, starting with red-winged blackbirds, cowbirds, and grackles in the coming weeks. Then, potentially, warblers and native sparrows will be passing through, followed by orioles, grosbeaks, hummingbirds, and all kinds of potential surprise visitors. They stay all spring and summer, some into fall. It is the most exciting time because the garden is lush, and they are all having babies, and variety is at its peak.” “I generally love eastern bluebirds, and part of my infatuation with them is probably due to watching them raise their babies in a nest box I made that also had a camera in it. Sadly, last year was not a great season for the blues here; instead of three broods, only one happened because of territorial disputes among the blues. I have not really seen them here since then, and I miss them. So one could say that the last couple of months have been rather boring for me when it comes to birds.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
