I checked the backyard today and was surprised to see a number of Bluebirds at my feeders.  Surprised because I hadn’t seen a Bluebird in my backyard since 1991.  I don’t know if this is because of the snow on the ground reducing food supplies or if this is maybe a sign that Spring is just around the corner (I’m hoping it’s the Spring thing…).

Well, there WAS plenty of bird seed in the feeders and on the ground and many other birds were taking advantage of an easy meal, like the Tufted Titmouse and Carolina Wren below. I also saw Black-capped Chickadees, Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, White-throated Sparrows, House Sparrows, Dark-Eyed Juncos, White-Breasted Nut Hatches, European Starlings, Goldfinches, Red-bellied and Downy Woodpeckers, and an American Robin all grabbing some seed.
