Sometimes it gets a little noisy in Annandale, especially on nice Spring mornings. A Cardinal was busy announcing his territory this morning at dawn, with a Barred Owl as a counter chorus in between. Song Sparrows, Robins, and Mourning Doves also adding to the mix.
Threw a handful of peanuts out on the deck this morning and two Blue Jays set a new arrival record- they landed on the railing as the peanuts were landing. We're not seeing as many Jays now- this Winter seven or eight of them would arrive and grab the peanuts. An amusing sight yesterday was a Chipmunk finding two whole unshelled peanuts. You could almost see a small lightbulb go on over his head when he stuffed an entire peanut into his cheeks, grabbed the other one, and ran off with it.
