We have birds that stick around year round but I don’t see them in large groups or all that often through the winter.
Yes, a few birds each day in the winter months is a normal sighting, but now that Spring is approaching and the snow has melted the birds are hanging out in our garden again.
I didn’t realize how much I missed seeing 10 or 20 birds sitting on my laundry line, or scattered throughout the yard perhaps hunting the garden beds and grass for signs of earthworms or other interesting food items.
Luckily I haven’t see too many squirrels yet. I imagine that they’ll be digging in my garden beds soon too. Either looking for nuts and other goodies that they buried in the past or hiding new goodies.
Have you noticed more wildlife in your garden now that the weather is getting better?
It is wonderful to see the squirrels back in action … we don’t have many here.I wake up most mornings to incredible birdsong.
And we have had many Canada geese flying overhead – that is such a treat.
Our resident ducks and geese are back on the river now that the ice has gone…
I think winter has ended … although I am sure we’ll have another snowfall or two.
