Wildlife Seen and Unseen - UPDATE March 22, 2023

Crows Cawing

By day, flocks of goldfinches and pine siskins outnumber each of the other bird visitors as they compete for sunflower seeds. Flocks of blue jays and crows compete for raw peanuts out of the shell. As the flock of 23 crows arrive, some of them sit together on a branch and alternate bowing as they caw together. When eating, crows are the most peaceful with each other, eating shoulder to shoulder, touching their sides together, putting their heads under each other to get nuts, and eating head to head, all done more peacefully than I’ve seen with any other birds.

At night, Bob Cat, a red fox, and one or two gray foxes have been coming frequently, but their timing is such that these pictures by "Eyes of the Night" are the only ones we’ve gotten. In fact, they were the only sightings of them by a person. Other views mostly showed them small in wide view security cameras.

Thank you for all you do,
