The Cream-bellied Menaces of my Nut jar

Pine Grosbeaks, Wild Turkeys and Black-capped Chickadees are all the birds we have here, accompanied by a red squirrel (who takes the Chickadees food, their very self righteous) a red-headed gray squirrel, and some pigeons (I thought they only turned up in…not-winter) and also absolute clouds of some kind of ducks I can’t identify from a distance, in a moving car–Mergansers, I think? They had white patches at the head. Also Maple-tapping season, the squirrel is trying to figure out how to fit down the neck of the sap-collecting bottle, and failing miserably. Chickadees are now whistling their spring tune, a wheat-woot-woot, and sometimes, if their in the mood, they’ll make it impressively discordant, and shift up an octave.
