Here's what I saw this week
during a Second Look.
 |
| Even in the winter, dandelions are providing color in the yard. |
 |
| Blue Jay and Downy Woodpecker. The blue jay has just taken off to land on the feeder below. |
 |
| Front door hole and back door hole for the local groundhog. (The front door hasn't been used much.) I don't know if he even bothered to come out Monday for Groundhog's Day. If he did, he wouldn't have seen his shadow because it was raining that morning. |
 |
| The birds have been using this nesting box to keep warm. There was a little material left from the last nest in the bottom, but I found new feathers on top of that from whatever has been using it. |
 |
| And speaking of nesting boxes, you can see that something has enlarged the hole on one of them. It could have been a woodpecker or an squirrel. I vote for squirrel. |
 |
| This is the first time I've noticed a white-throated sparrow this winter. They travel in flocks, so I don't know where the rest of them were. |
 |
| With the snow, we can more clearly see the evidence of where the deer have been in our yard. Everywhere! |
