BIRDS

I've heard some turkeys but haven't seen any yet. Not sure if I posted about it but we had at least 11 deer cross the back field a few days ago, then they came back and hung around for a bit. It was cool.

Is it working Chuck? 

No indications yet, but he's persistent!

Bluebirds have been nesting for the last three weeks. Then had to tolerate or fend off a pair of chickadees, and thought they were successful. 

Now a pair of bluebirds are around the nest box, acting like they are going to nest. The male bluebird is seemingly content to flutter and peck on the windows of the my house. Pretty to watch them, just hard to figure them out. Cardinals and goldfinch all around.

Welp, the turkeys showed up in the field a couple hours ago, only 2 that we saw.

Saw the same turkeys from the other day, but opposite side of the road heading down a farm road towards Maine. Border jumpers.

We have a family of 4-6 crows that hang around. The older adults have built a nest in the spruce trees out behind for years. In the middle of summer you'll hear all the squawking back there. Soon in late summer the babies will appear with momma for scraps. 

A huge murder of crows hung around all winter here feeding in the corn fields.  We see a couple pair of ravens around, but they don't come near the yard often, the crows will put the run to them.
