Good project!<BR/><BR/>Jayne- No robins yet today (Tuesday); I think the cold front may have finally pushed them south.<BR/><BR/>FC- Out of the woods is a good place to be when the city hunters arrive.<BR/><BR/>Pablo- The cat does resemble a big fluffy Swiffer, doesn't he?<BR/><BR/>RuthieJ- Maybe next year on the bowhunting. I would have some good mentors where I work.<BR/><BR/>I forgot to mention, I also saw a flock of cedar waxwings sitting above the winterberries!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-72055005123228651132008-11-10T10:09:00.000-06:002008-11-10T10:09:00.000-06:00Bowhunting is the best--I think you would enjoy th...Bowhunting is the best--I think you would enjoy the quiet time in the woods, Deb.<BR/><BR/>I had a robin in my backyard yesterday too--he finally found his way to the crabapple tree that's still holding on to lots of fruit and was sharing the tree with Cedar Waxwings the last time I checked.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-36190501417663495562008-11-09T12:08:00.000-06:002008-11-09T12:08:00.000-06:00Caption: "Anything else you need dusted?"Somehow I...Caption: "Anything else you need dusted?"<BR/><BR/>Somehow I'm terrified and enthralled by the idea of you as a bow hunter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-86901112518615888152008-11-09T10:10:00.000-06:002008-11-09T10:10:00.000-06:00First day of general gun season here too, so I sta...First day of general gun season here too, so I stayed out of the woods. <BR/><BR/>I'm seeing a big upturn in hawks and kingfishers on powerlines along the roads as the migrants arrive!R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-87852766331826886702008-11-09T07:07:00.000-06:002008-11-09T07:07:00.000-06:00Robins still?

My 9th grade daughter is doing a science experiment feeding birds to see if the color of the feeder makes any difference to the birds. Her teacher, who obviously doesn't feed birds, said "but its winter and the birds will migrate and you won't get any at your feeders". Fortunately, I have fed birds for years and after going through more than one 50 lb bag per winter I can assure her that they will get plenty of birds! I was happy that they chose this experiment, I think its a very good idea.Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556270261087981200noreply@blogger.com
