feeding station.
I accomplished little op Tuesday, for I was happily occupied in watching the birds as they scrambled, scratched and squabbled for food. Leje Trott had made a batch of hep famous “bird pudding” and placed it in a suet holder. Downy and red-bellied woodpeckers were quick to find this protein-rich food. Soon the i Carolina wrens — they are ' always together — left off picking up bits of seeds dropped by birds with seedcracking bills and fed on the specialty Lee had put out for them.
When I wasn’t watching birds, I was putting on boots and heavy jacket — plus gloves — to replenish bird seed. Snow quickly covered it well ahead of the birds’ scratching efforts to uncover it. I located a large piece of pegboard and constructed a kind of shelter from the falling snow.
It was a good day. The world was transformed, as blowing snow covered and outlined every twig and limb. My advice to myself is to watch birds more carefully than the meteorologists on TV to know when the world is going to be whitened.
Another snowfall on Jan. 30. This weather is bringing comments and phone calls regarding unusual birds — and behavior — at area feeds. Next week, I’ll report on that, with a question of my own.
