We also have two pairs of geese nearby. Two days ago one pair came by with one gosling. I invite you to come see my stump pictures. I have a section for birds if you are interested in seeing my bird pictures. -- MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-75882366834325833302008-05-29T02:26:00.000+01:002008-05-29T02:26:00.000+01:00You have some young ones there. And I agree. Down ...You have some young ones there. And I agree. Down in Connecticut we had those huge huge flocks of starlings and they were considered pests. Here there are hardly any starlings. Except at my place. Every summer, after the red-winged blackbirds leave in August, the starlings come in a flock of hundreds and they spend the night in the tall grass of the meadow near the beaver ponds. But last year they did not come and I missed them so much. They are vulnerable to West Nile I know. I hope they just found a better meadow. I'm going to try this raisin thing real soon.
