NOW'S THE TIME!

As some of you know, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology up in Ithaca, New York has been featuring two bird cams on their website--one is in Ontario, Canada and the other is in Ithaca, NY. The cameras are focused on bird feeders in their area. I was just checking on them when I noticed another cam up and running. This cam is also in Ithaca and is focused on two red-tailed hawks that have just started building their nest on a pole on the Cornell University campus. Keep watching and you may see the female, Big Red, lay her eggs. She usually begins egg laying in early March.

If you want to learn more about this pair of hawks (they mate for life!), Cornell has more than 60 questions and answers about the couple. Just click here: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/Page.aspx?pid=2607.

ANOTHER WINTER VISITOR TO MS. SEITZ'S YARD!

This little birdie, and several of its kind, visited my yard recently, desperately looking for food, so I provided some tasty birdseed.

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT BIRD THIS IS?
