The Bluebirds seem attracted to my barberry hedge. Still, I never expected to see them in winter. Most of my books on birding say that you can offer them “mealy worms” but I don’t recall reading anything about berries.

BTW, welcome to my blog!

Well, I know I sound a bit like a broken record but, I still believe what many scientists are telling us, that our “tampering” with planet earth’s atmosphere is causing disorientation for many birds and animals. Just this past season, there was a manatee in Dennis, MA! And, I think it was a Blue Whale that was sited off the coast of Gloucester, MA which is supposed to be something like 1000 miles farther south that its normal swimming/eating grounds.

I certainly hope that the new administration will take the environment and conservation much more seriously than the previous administration did.

You know, we’re having the coldest winter in over ten years here, and yet there are about 40 Robins and a flock of Red-wing Blackbirds that have been around all winter. I’ve never seen that before, ever, and certainly wouldn’t expect it when it’s this cold. No blue birds though.
