Day 2 Blustery Walk Behind Falmouth Walmart and Home Feeders

18mph nw wind, 17 degrees, 3 inches snow cover, .69miles. There were some ring billed gulls in the Walmart parking lot, and about 5 crows flew overhead, Some vocalizing. The highlight of the walk were the Robins seen by the water treatment plant. They seemed restless. Flock form was like they had cooties. Best ID mark was the white on the lower belly, although when I first saw them I had to eliminate starlings and bluebirds. Spotty fruit left on the ornamentals in the neighborhood, but the Robins moved on, not feeding.

While getting into my car to run my errands, I noticed 4 bluebirds at my feeder, eating suet. Not very efficiently. Two male, two females. The female on the ground first struck me as possibly a flicker. I have no fruit left in my yard. There was also 2 goldfinches earlier, as well as a white breasted nuthatch on the street corner feeder.

2 ebird lists for this date.
