The winter storm is bringing some good birds in today to my feeders/ground food on Howe Island, east of Kingston. My lone Rusty Blackbird has increased to 6 birds this AM. There was also a male Red-winged Blackbird new today, and a lone White-throated Sparrow has been present most of the winter. A Cooper's Hawk has been frequenting & catching many of the Mourning Doves.
