courting in December!!!



Howdy!

For the past week I've been hearing the Tufted Titmouse talking a 
lot.Yesterday I heard the familiar springtime high pitch call. When I looked 
up, there was a titmouse shaking it's wings with another titmouse close by 
looking on. What stopped the action was a third titmouse that flew in and 
broke up the activity. 

Has anyone else seen signs of this yet??? It does feel spring-like today 
after a very cold week last week!

The Carolina Wren and chickadee were fighting over a basket in the front yard 
yesterday.Plus, this morning, the Carolina Wren was checking out 2 nest 
boxes. Hope they don't start building nests too early like they did last 
year!

What will be the first bird of the year for you? I always like to make a note 
of the first one I see. A Yellow-rump Warbler eating suet was my first bird 
on Jan 1, 1999.

Happy New Year everyone and HAPPY BIRDING!!
