A change in the Weather

 

A change in the Weather

 

 

 

 

 Monday morning I focused on observing more than just the Song Birds themselves, I began to observe everything that occurs outside the tree and where the feeder is located. The tree is filled of orange-yellow leaves and it looks absolutely amazing. As a kid I would always be more exited for fall instead of summer, anyways, in the fall when the leaves fall and birds like ducks and geese migrate to the south for the winter would be the highlight of my year. The grass is still green with the brutally cold mornings that mother nature brings us, but soon it will lack life and become dry. The birds don't seem to be affected by the cold morning.

 

I will insert a picture as soon as I get a memory card reader, later on.

 

 

The house finches on Tuesday morning is what surprised me I would never have thought I would see house finches at my new house, since they only would come to my old house on grove. They are given a warm welcome  with some dry grass to stuff their nests to stay far from freezing."This morning I counted five gold finches"(field notes). The smell of rain strengthens the smell of the thistle and the birds go nuts over the feeder and the tree. Scat is all around the base of the tree and draped over the branches and leaves. Amazing how much poop come out of a little bird, might be gross, but the fact just fascinates me. These songs birds are becoming more and more interesting everyday.

 

 "I find it strange that these birds are still feeding when its 35 degrees outside"(taken from field notes). I just had an idea what it would be like if I was eating outside at that temperature. My cereal would be rock solid and my eggs would taste disgusting. The cold breeze and humidity is showing no mercy on the grass. The grass is burning up with the frost every morning. It sounds ironic that grass is "burning" up by the touch of Jack frost's finger tips. Jack frost is right around the corner lurking in every corner and gust of wind while I just sit on the steps to my house enjoying the view of the mountain tops.
