Birdies in random April snow (day 2 of lovely storm)

Apr 12, 2019 12:45 AM

Today a bunch of birds of varying species all “visited” my balcony at the same time. A male and female cardinal and some juncos ate seeds off the ground. Juncos and goldfinches were chilling on the railing. The goldfinches were also clustered on the feeders, along with a white breasted nuthatch. A chickadee flitted in and out. There was also a downy woodpecker on the suet feeder. Cute birbs.

Cool.

Do you get any tits? Or i should say, "tufted titmice"?

I'm sure a feeder like that is a blessing during a cold snap like that. Cardinals were always my favourites.

How has no one told me there is a bird called a white breasted nuthatch?

This is probably the only occasion were it would have been better to film vertically :)

Do you have audio ? I'd love to hear their chirps

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don’t ?. I took these videos from inside as they are really skittish. I adore their little sounds too

Found a youtube video that had the chirps/chattering that I love. Is this what you mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx8Z82T0Zf4

Had a shit-ton of birds at my place too; although it was almost exclusively juncos. So many little bird tracks in the snow, it was adorable

+1 to you OP for keeping the feeders full during this time.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I appreciate that. I do find it fulfilling and peaceful to feed and watch the birbs.

Can someone shed some light why people say birbs when the letter D is directly connected to the letter S making it easier to spell correctly

You must be German. Wanna know how I know? Because you don't like fun.

I've never heard of a snowstorm in april being described as lovely

Hmm must find “sarcasm” font ?

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

a pair of quotes does the trick usually

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

True. But in this case I think the majority of people recognized it as sarcasm. April snow storms in this region are obviously not lovely ?

Shit, it's still snowing in places? I already forgot about winter.

Hah. Well aren’t you the lucky one? Unless you have amnesia. That would be unfortunate.

Yeah man, 3 day snow storm smacked Minnesota this week. I was wearing shorts at work on Monday, said 65 in my car.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's called Minnesota. You think winter is over, then it snows again

Even into May if nature is really pissed at us...

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yeah it is pretty rare but I totally remember it snowing in May like 5 or 6 years ago.

2013. I then went out to western South Dakota that year and got hit with Winter Storm Atlas. Crazy year for me.

don't they all swim south for the summer?

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes. All Minnesotans abandon their lives above ground to go swim down the Mississippi for summer.

Yup. It was snowing earlier today, too. I'm in Toronto

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Same. We had hail in our snow storm today. Still confused about weather.

7 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

Here too, or something like hail. It was almost like ice rain. It was -so- loud.
