4/22/2021 0 Comments Uncommon VisitorsSpring has finally come, even though it doesn't feel like it. FeederWatch is over and I'm finding all the interesting birds are now visiting the feeders. It'll be their last chance as we start to change from winter feeders over to summer feeders. Gone will be the sunflower seeds and high protein nut mixes and out will come the nyjer seed and the nectar for hummingbirds. Not to say we won't throw the occasional peanut out to keep our furry friends happy, but we find it's best to let the birds forage on their own as well as not attracting any bears. This elusive bird is the Northern Mockingbird. After FeederWatch finished we discovered we have a pair that seem to be hanging around. I wonder if they're nesting in the area? We had a single visit very rarely during the winter, only seem once on twice, but now he/she seems to visiting on a regular basis finishing the last of our suet. We've finally gotten a picture to prove that its been visiting, as according to the Merlin Bird app, it's uncommon for this area.
