This morning the birds were very busy fluttering to and fro. Hairy, downy and red bellied woodpeckers went from the suet to the peanut feeder. A flock of 11 turkeys tromped through the woods. Chickadees and nuthatches flew from feeder to feeder. Robins and cedar waxwings gleaned the last crab apples from the floppy ends of each branch. This year has not been a good year as far as the productivity of crab apples, apples, black walnuts nor acorns. With so little nutrition from the trees surely the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and other creatures will suffer. For today I hope the birds got enough to eat because they sure put on a good show for me.
