Bird tracks can be as much fun to see as the birds themselves.
There are sparrows, nuthatches, juncos, mourning doves, starlings, chickadees, cardinals and blue jays that stop by. Surprising to me, at times, they get along and feed together, with space between them though.
I think when they're hungry, barriers tend to retreat. They do have mini territories around the seed, though.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the little foot prints too-has me smiling
ReplyDeleteThose tracks are so wonderful to see. The closest thing for me is bird tracks in the sand.
ReplyDeleteI love this post.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that something? I've never seen bird tracks like that in the snow. I did, however, see a trail of Quail outside my window, following one right after the other, and it was so funny to watch. These are really neat pictures.

For sure, Liz. I see a quick go away beak warning peck when birds get too close.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
The tracks remind me of freeway patterns.The scattered seeds tends to form a perimeter with a clear area. There's always one or two there looking around before chosing a spot.
Loree,
Sand tracks are fun patterns as well. There are posters of different bird tracks that are lovely.
Glad you like them Debra
Off to the right side are cat tracks, smaller than the cats I usually see walk by. I shoo cats away if they decide to take in the warm concrete in the sun.

Your quail photos are lovely! I remember you posted them. They make me smile.
It is a treat to see a snow dusting that allows the bird tracks. I scatter bird see on the deck instead of using hanging feeders.
Birds are much smarter than humans in many ways,
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteThey are a clever species.
I love bird tracks. But I can't tell any apart!
ReplyDeleteYiu arrn't alone, Jeanie
ReplyDeleteI also can't tell them apart.
A familiar sight to me.
ReplyDeleteYou arr fortunate, William, to see such bird tracks.
ReplyDeleteTracks appear and are gone too fast.
Not only was it intersting to see these bird tracks, but even better that you could identify them😀
ReplyDeleteBeatrice,
ReplyDeleteThe bird tracks of most that stop by are similar.
