On Monday I heard my FOY Brown Thrasher singing in the backyard. Then
Wednesday, near Troutville school, two Thrashers landed just few feet in
front of me as I got out of my car. They were so busy fighting each other
they didn't even see me at first. After a few seconds one of them left and
the other flew up in a tree and began singing.
I still have Juncos and Pine Siskins at my feeders. They have been here
daily since December or earlier. Today I counted 15 Siskins and one Junco.
So far no hummers have shown up.
