I'm home doing some study program.. Took a break with hearing some bird song. Again, out in front yard a large influx of birds.
And now I think I understand. In the large trees around my home are numerous squirrel nests (remember I fed them also). Well, the titmouse (4) , the white-throated sparrows (2), the starling, the blue jays (3-4) ..the chickadee.. are stealing food from the squirrel nests.. mostly acorns, I 'm guessing. All the talk re: the squirrels stealing food from the feeders.. well what goes around comes around. Also, cooper's hawk off in the distance.. I heard only one great horned owl calling early this morning.( 4 am). and just too tired to chase. Maybe another time I will. Jane Allen
