Curious, in what all you are seeing ?
Remember how I said I knew nothing about ponds or shrubs?
Guess what I need to start learning about now?
Other than a few basics like corvids, swallows, grouse, chickadees, red wing blackbirds and a couple others, I'm very uneducated. I can identify a raptor or a woodpecker for example, but usually can't be more specific.
The birds I'm seeing are small. There's three or more species with one having faded-red on top of its head. Like I said, I'll try to get photographs and you can likely tell me.
"Chickadee ?"
Saw one the other day and commented that they are usually gone higher by now. Haven't seen any at the pond yet.
