I have had to eat a little crow, no pun intended with the subject at hand. Last fall Mike cut all the crepe myrtle trees way, way back--almost all the way back to the trunk. I told him we would have very few birds this winter because they would have very little cover. He said if we put food out, they would come.
For several weeks I was right. Not much came. But last night our low temp was down to 27. And the birds are out in full force. No crows except what I am eating.
Just today:
house finch
Carolina wren
northern mockingbird
pine warbler
downy woodpecker
red-bellied woodpecker
tufted titmouse
Carolina chickadee
mourning dove
brown-headed nuthatch
and more that I will think of and add as they come to mind.
