I have been enjoying the birds in my backyard as I look forward to going to Magee Marsh for migrating warblers & others birds in OH. I am also getting ready to plant more native plants along with some favorite annuals in my yard as I hope for a great 2025 butterfly season.

Some unexpected snow arrived and surprised me this mroning when I got up. We had 3" when I shoveled a path to the area where I hang the feeders on the deck. Over the next 2 hrs we received another 1-2" of snow. The birds were really busy at the feeders.

Bernie and I are very happy to see all of the birds in my backyard coming to the feeders and the trees that are around. On a daily basis we see House Finch, American Goldfinch, 4 species of Woodpeckers - Northern Flickers, Red-bellied, Hairy and Downy. We are hoping to get Red-headed and Pileated woodpeckers here also as they are nearby in our area. We have Dark-eyed Juncos, Song and White throated Sparrows, Northern Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, Tufted Titmice, Carolina Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatches, Blue Jays and Mourning Doves. Today, we had a rare for us group of about 6 Eastern Bluebirds and also a Common Grackle.
