I think Cormorants only fly in "V" or echelon formation at high altitudes over long distances @Michelle I really hope you get some Wood Ducks to nest in your box. How exciting to have those beauties breeding on your property @Jason yes, as long as they don't expect to find them there in the Spring ;-) @Ted thanks for the visit and the follow! The Northern Harrier is pretty easy to ID by the white rump that always shows @Amber yup, spring is almost here. I'm not sure if the acorn stasher was an Acorn Woodpecker or a Gray Squirrel @Nicole thanks. I think Cormorants only fly in “V” or echelon formation at high altitudes over long distances

My daughter came down this morning and said "there's an owl on the hill." It wasn't an owl, but I am now fairly confident it was a harrier -- it sat on the ground, on a hill, in the sun for a good long time (it was freezing outside of Boston today). They live near here, in our neighborhood, and I see them frequently, sometimes in my garden beds even, but i've had a tough time ID-ing it... anyway, great site, I just started following you on twitter.

I do clean the bird feeders which is really fun in the winter (not) so cleaning a nesting box makes sense. I was really surprised to hear spring type bird song on a couple of warmer days we had before we went back into the big freeze...I can't wait for spring....Michelle This is helpful Larry as I put up my first nesting box (wood ducks) this fall.
