A pair of Mourning Doves, and the regular Purple Finch, Am.Goldfinch and Chickadee crowd. Attended by Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, One Brown Creeper and the pair of Red-Breasted Nuthatches with Juncos showing up occasionally the past few days. This has been my busiest month this winter. In the marsh near River Philip and the Linden marsh are many Black ducks, Mallards, Hooded Mergansers, Common Mergansers. I think I will stop feeding the birds when my supply runs out. I do not feed in the summer and I like to stop before the returning spring birds start to pick a nest site. I don't want them picking a spot based on the food supply which is artificial. Is this logical bird thinking or just me projecting human thinking on to birds? Perhaps the answer is unknowable because how many people out there can think like a bird? Excluding any and all bird-brains. Although according to my Mom there are a few of those around. Ha.
