Hi all, Joining the late American Robin in the yard this afternoon, was a very cold, hungry-looking Belted Kingfisher perched low down over the still-open water of the creek next to my house, giving a very slow quiet rattled call as if it were too cold to make much effort!
I've been trying to calculate how long the robin might have sufficient food before it has to search elsewhere, based on the number of winterberries left. But a small flock of Cedar Waxwings arrived around 4:00 pm to feed on the robin's food supply, messing up my arithmetic! They flew off before I had the chance to get out into the blind to photograph them. And in a field at the east end of Mt Pleasant Road, 5 Horned Larks flew up as I drove by.
