Feeder Dynamics and Lake Mist Encounter
A nature diary notes male pine grosbeaks with females and juveniles forming pecking order among species like chickadees and evening grosbeaks. Blue jays visit tables not fat bags, while gray jays and hairy woodpeckers also feed on sunflower seeds. A female hairy woodpecker scatters seeds, possibly seeking larger seeds. A Sunday mist over the lake spawns eerie shapes and a flock of eight ducks briefly appears. Hoar frost covers the shore as Canada geese reflect sunset. the loon remains cruising in the morning mist, seeking fish.
