![]() ‘A’ notes “Lou is a bit nervous of the little ones – as I mentioned, he trampled through the scrape and trod on one of the chicks’ heads today when retrieving prey from the back corner! He may have a bit to learn on that front. Lou doesn’t quite seem to know what to do but he is bringing in prey items, thankfully. The giggle for the day comes from Sharon Pollock! At one site in part of an afternoon, 825 Red-tail Hawks, 130 Bald Eagles, and 3 Golden Eagles flew over. Migration counts continue across southern Manitoba where I live. This woodpecker prefers this type of feeder while his friend is at the log suet feeder. About 1/3 of the peanuts in the ‘new’ bag appear not good enough to make the cut.Ī blurry photo of the first European Starling for the year. No sense in using all that energy for an old dried-up nut. They test and shake each one for its weight. ![]() Will there be another arrival tomorrow? We wait to see if four return from migration to join the Dark-eyed Juncos and the arrival of the Starlings.īlue Jays are incredibly picky over peanuts. Last year, we had Junior and the three babies. In the garden, there has been much joy with the arrival of the first European Starling around 1700. There were geese everywhere…at least 75 in a small area around the pond. There is also a black band on the end of the yellow bill. I like to think of them as celadon eyes, that coveted green-grey glaze from China. They also have pale eyes with a red eye-ring. Ring-billed Gulls have white markings on their outer wing feathers. Several Ring-billed Gulls were enjoying the water. It was a perfect day to go to the park and check on the arrival of the Canada Geese. The temperature was 12 C with a blue sky and winds of 19 kph. It is a balmy ‘summer day’ on the Canadian Prairies.
