The last 2 weeks i had seen 2 swans flying over headed in the direction of the ammunitions plant (flying from the south east to the west-north-west). I'm fairly certain they are Whistling swans because the only black i could see on them was their beaks. Today i just happened to be looking out the back door to the deck and saw a flock of about 12 swans flying in the same direction. Maybe one of these days i will be able to get a photo of them.
Other birds seen in the yard today:
-A flock of about 30 American Robins - eating berrys on various trees
-Chickadees - too many to count
- Blue Jay
- Female Cardinal
- White Breasted Nuthatch - 4
- 2 American Goldfinch - i hope more return i usually see groups of 5-10 on the thistle feeders
- Downy woodpecker
- Red Bellied Woodpecker
- Common Flicker
- Crows (unsure which kind)5
The temp today has been around 15F so compared to the last few days of snow and single digits the animals have been a bit more active.
I also went for a short walk down along the marsh to see what tracks i could find. It seems the squirrels and mice are the most active animals. Maybe 1 or 2 sets of rabbit tracks. There were no deer tacks that i could see so im assuming they are waiting for it to get a bit warmer before venturing out very far.
