Triangle Toot Party!

AnneTheWriter🧵 I heard... SILENCE.This past week here in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuroraIllinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuroraIllinois</a> , the weather has been pleasant & warmer. In the past, this kind of weather would be full of life, coming awake.I know most of the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/songbirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#songbirds</a> have migrated and haven't returned yet, so I don't expect to hear them. But only last week, I was regularly seeing a LOT of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> , and hearing lots of chirping. The bird food & bread scraps I often put out for them in the morning were always eaten before lunch.In past years, the sky would have had lots of birds flying overhead in this first warmth. I would hear lots of chirping.This whole day, I heard only SILENCE.4 of the past 5 days, bird food was left uneaten. Bread scraps were only eaten by the nighttime animals.Today, I only saw one lonely <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/sparrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sparrow</a>, behaving abnormally by hiding in my flower pot, right next to my door-- and near me. None of his friends ever appeared.I hope I'm mistaken.

Here's a white-breasted nuthatch, from Lees Summit, Missouri in 2016.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:It doesn't happen often, but I sure do love when the Mourning Doves come and just lounge around our bird buffet. They remind me of my late Grandmother. She loved 'em.

Again dealing with soft images. Assumed lens problem so I put it on my old beloved D7200. Nope. Lens is OK. So it’s the body or maybe my rough handling has messed up the FTZ adapter.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:One benefit of the winter weather here in the <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/KC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KC</a>-ish area is that the White Crowned Sparrows have appeared at our bird buffet.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:Hey, frozen and/or snowed in friends. It’s a hard time to be a bird out there. If you can, your feathered friends need food, but more importantly they could use some unfrozen water. They can eat snow, but melting it lowers already low body temps and burns calories needed for survival.
