Either way it was a welcome site after a nasty winter. Yesterday I spotted about eight robins poking around in the leaves when I went for a walk at a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ladymin.com&#038;blog=2499452&#038;post=3647&#038;subd=ladymin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a year round resident in my yard. This medium-sized woodpecker can be found in the eastern half of the United States. They prefer the tall woodland trees but can be enticed to backyard feeders with offerings of suet or peanuts. This female is often in my yard. I was potting some [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ladymin.com&#038;blog=2499452&#038;post=3545&#038;subd=ladymin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a week or two in early autumn and early spring the White-crowned sparrow visits my suburban Chicago backyard. I look forward to his visit in spring, not so much in autumn as I know winter will soon follow. This is a migratory native North American sparrow that spends it&#8217;s summers mainly in Canada and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ladymin.com&#038;blog=2499452&#038;post=3524&#038;subd=ladymin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This is a fairly common bird but you&#8217;ll only see them if you look up. They like to travel in flocks and can be seen eating berries in fruit trees or catching insects in mid-air.

I didn&#8217;t exactly mean I&#8217;d serve little birds to the hawks, but sometimes it happens that way. This Cooper&#8217;s Hawk buzzed the feeders this evening and then perched on the fence for a few minutes.
