Observations
  • January 12, 1999: Partly cloudy, 45 degrees F. We have seen mostly juncos and house sparrows at our feeder. Last Friday however, it was snowing and a pair of cardinals and some chickadees came too. Last week we also made peanut butter pinecones and hung them up. Squirrels really liked them and worked hard to carry them away. We meant to feed the birds but it was really fun watching the squirrels.


  • March 6, 1998: We saw a cardinal and house sparrows in the morning. Nothing is there this afternoon We have been keeping track of all the kinds of birds we have seen by the month. Here are the ones we saw.

  • Jan. 1998- cardinal, house sparrows, tufted titmouse, chickadee, junco,house finch.

  • Feb.1998 - the same plus white throated sparrow, blue jay, white crownedsparrow, mourning dove.


  • In March 1997 we have only seen 4 kinds so far. House sparrows, a pigeon, cardinals and chickadees.

  • March 3, 1997: It has been snowing all day. Even so, house sparrows have been coming to the feeder. That is all we saw today. We think they must be tough to come in a snow storm.

  • February 28, 1997: All we have seen today are house sparrows and one mourning dove. But the birds have been singing. We have heard cardinals all week.
