Two days ago, we saw a spruce grouse under our feeder. We've been seeing grouse around our yard off and on for a couple of years, but more lately in the past winter. Then yesterday and today, we've seen her on top of the bird feeder. It's a bit of a double-take, when you look out expecting to see the tiny delicate pine siskins or something approximately that size, and there sits that enormous bird. The squirrel even avoids the top of the feeder when she's up there, as mild-mannered and shy as grouse are, still a big bird.
We've had a robin, myrtle warblers, white-crowned sparrows, and our usual suspects to the watering stationg. Still chilly out, so hopefully soon more sunshine will bring out more birds. Hearing kinglets, sparrows, robins, juncos singing all around in the early morning, even during the day. Nothing new to report on the Kenai River Flats.
