Snow, Juncos and Tree Sparrows, Oh My!/ Nieve, juncos y gorriones, ay Dios!


Spizella arborea
As of Friday, Jan 29th 2011

I will sum everything up, all right? Great!

Wednesday 27th:

See my last post "Today At The Feeder" for hawk and cardinal stories

Begins heavily snowing at about 4 PM, keeps on snowing all night long. Chickadee leaning on tree branch looked surprised at the snow falling, other chickadees seemed to look surprised and scared too, very adorable behavior!
BIG traffic problems in MD and VA. My dad left work early at about 3 PM and got home at 1:30 AM.
Stops snowing at about 11 PM. LOTS of snow!


Thursday 28th:

School closed.
I wake up at the sound of my alarm, and the angered chirps of a titmouse that seemed to be annoyed at the light morning snow that was falling.
Dark-eyed juncos learn to eat from suet feeder!

Friday 29th:

School closed, snows in the morning or afternoon, I don't remember.

New feeder visitor and life bird comes! An American Tree sparrow visits feeder! This sparrow made an epic journey from its breeding grounds in the Arctic to this Maryland balcony. How were the polar bears, Mr. Spizella arborea?
