We havn't seen "our bluebirds" since
monday. We usually see 6-10 on the wires around the house.
Wednesday, I saw a phoebe near S. Lowell Rd in N.
Durham Co, where White Horse Run connects. Yesterday Janet saw a Phoebe
giving its last gassps at the same spot. Bad news for
flycatchers.
On a lighter note. We have had Subgum birds
at our feeder and below the deck. Close to 200 individuals. All 3
nuthatches, fox sparrrow, thrasher, towhee.
The explanation, why subgum. Once we were at
a chinese resturant and asked the owner for a translation of subgum. She
said, "Oh, means ' Lots of Stuff'". It has been a subgum week at the
feeder.
