Have you been watching birds? Many people have taken up birdwatching during the pandemic. At our house, the snow has thrown them into sharp relief: cardinals, mourning doves, crows, woodpeckers, red-winged blackbirds, some birds I can't identify, and many dark-eyed juncos.

I enjoyed this! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and informative video. I've always known these birds as "snowbirds" and I'll still call them that...maybe because it's a nicer sound than "junco." ;-)
