Looks like the three-day feeder frenzy is finally slowing down but it sure has been fun while it lasted. There has been much less activity at the feeders and in the yard since noon. Every a.m. at sunrise the flock of goldfinches along with the juncos and white throated sparrows come in followed soon by all the other usuals. A bit later the Baltimore orioles arrive and for the next couple of hours provide a lot of entertainment fighting over the jelly feeders. They have eaten three and a half 30oz jars of grape jelly over the past three days, as well as a good share of seed and suet. The highest count has been sixteen on Thursday a.m. A little bonus has been a flock of Robins who every morning have led a flock of fifteen to twenty cedar wax wings to the surrounding trees and yard, a couple of whom have enjoyed the heated bird bath.
