Carman, Fort Whyte, Manitoba April 2011
Quite a few more birds around the last week or so.
Hawks have started to migrate.
Have placed some nesting material in a container and hung it from our feeding pole. Bought a bag of feathers and a ball of string. Cut the string into 4” lengths. Doubt there are any nests being built as yet, still to cold. Container seemed to scare the birds for the first few days as they would land near the feeding pole but wouldn’t go to the feeders.
One of the bridges on the trail I walk is now flooded so my walk has been cut in half.
