Spring is surely around the corner: saw the 1st "TBuzz" soaring overhead .
Not sure why but we called them Turkey Buzzards vs. vultures in NJ. I think they are my 5,678th distant cousin, 5 times removed on the evolutionary family scale. No I am not related to "O"!

Great day at the feeder. Working from home today and gotta great view of the back yard and woods. A couple of additions to the site. Suet log feeder has been great. Nutty feedings have gone way up with this addition, with multiple peckers able to feed at once. Also, I have been throwing dry meal worms in two feeding cups the last few weeks. Titmouse (or mice?) were the only ones partaking until today. Got my first pair of Bluebirds ever - I was so pumped. Then an hour later behind the feeders on the edge of the woods, 7 deer come into view and decide to hang out awhile.

I forecast snow by the appearance of Juncos on the ground feeder.

No Juncos this morning, and even though forecasted, not a flake.
