Love your shot of the Owl Phil, and the Kestrel.<br /><br />We have many different conifer trees, not just pine, including Spruce, Yews, Firs, Cedars, and a couple of Cypress evergreens, which attract the birds, but make it very difficult to see them.Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-87764152693495068122021-03-07T10:03:22.988+00:002021-03-07T10:03:22.988+00:00Your numbers for the last five years looks good to...Your numbers for the last five years looks good to me, but I'm sure you two would like a higher count.

They are very mysterious and there is something in their stares that seem to be very human-like. Love these kestrels Phil! Glad to see Spring is going on bloom out there. Summer has started here as February ended and the heat is so bad now as early as now!

Once again, kudos to you and all who give of their time to make such efforts.<br /><br />Just now, in the back yard, one feeder has a male Cardinal feeding a female and on another feeder a (presumed male) Blue Jay is also giving a seed to a (presumed) female. Spring must be very close!<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend, Phil! Here is hoping you have good weather and successful ringing.Wally Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121368850135565674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-831739639551563572021-03-04T17:16:23.784+00:002021-03-04T17:16:23.784+00:00I know it is not easy.

I used to do ringing with my boss, a wildlife vet in Rhodesia when I was in my early 20's but maybe it is a bit more sophisticated now than then. 819 Linnets in 5 winters sounds pretty good to me!<br />Keep up the good work.
