The camera on the Birdfy feeder stopped working on March 31 and I’ve been trying to get it operational again. I didn’t want to put my charging block out there on a rainy day, so I hooked up the solar panel but that didn’t do the trick. I pushed the Reset button and the Start button and that didn’t work either. I’ll continue to try to charge it up after this next rainy spell ends.
I can’t complain too much about the rain because it’s a relief from the drought.
On the final day of March, one of the birds that came to that feeder was this sparrow. It appears to be a white-crowned sparrow, which I don’t see very often.
The next picture shows a stuffed owl in a nature center. I don’t think it’s the kind that we heard the other night, but I want to tell you about that.
My dog Charlie was alarmed by the calls of an owl that was probably in a tree behind our house. “Hoo hoo! Hoo hoo hoo!” He sat up, full alert.
Another owl answered in the distance. Charlie looked confused and upset. He howled. “Wa-ooo!”
This went on for about five minutes, with owls calling and Charlie protesting.
I hope the owls found each other and don’t do this every night.
Charlie was startled and confused by a nighttime owl exchange, responding with howls of his own as the calls echoed through the night.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the White-crowned Sparrow. I do not see them here. It is funny Charlie and the Owls were talking to each other. Take care, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteWhite-crowned Sparrow should be showing up here soon. Very elegant little bird.
ReplyDelete...a more of sparrows are visiting us.
ReplyDeleteSweet looking bird! Hope your camera can charge ok again soon. I’m living with a dog on my visit now, who likes to bark when sirens go off in the distance. Fortunately that doesn’t happen often.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing owls at night, but fortunately our dog sleeps right through it!
