Put aside those wintertime blues
and go to the outback where there is at least an "½ mile" network
of groomed packed powder trails through the Vail at Squirrel
Run of 4-foot snow drifts to seed feeders, suet feeders and
corn cob cribs. We have them all. Birds of various
species; Crows, Blue Jays, Downy Woodpeckers, Red-bellied
Woodpeckers,
bright red Cardinals, Tufted Titmice, White-breasted Nuthatches,
Dark-eyed Juncoes, Black-capped Chickadees, sparrows, and
finches. An occasional Sharp-shinned Hawk might appear
as well. Hear, what I hear--A cacophonous symphony of light
chirps, squawks and caws. See, what I see---birds of
all manner of feathers and what you can do with all that
duct
tape you bought for terrorist attacks. Why, convert Clementine
crates into miniature covered feeders, that's what to do
with the duct tape.......Enjoy winter and the mother of all
snowstorms.....Hug your snow shovel or snow blower, but keep
your binoculars handy!....
