Your cowl looks so deliciously warm, and it was neat to see you, too. I'm so jealous of your cardinals and woodpeckers! I love cardinals so much, the bright red and their little comb on top. But we don't have them out here which makes me crazy.. why not? LOL!

I really need a new one. Mine is pretty ragged from all the wood hauling. I've snagged it pretty badly so that's a pretty good reason to start one.

I've noticed lots of changes in birds this winter. I have a lot fewer of all of them, hardly any chickadees, and I've only seen one tufted titmouse. I asked our extension services about chickadees around Christmas and they said several people had noticed the same thing and they had two possible explanations: food supplies in Canada are good so they never came south, or maybe they migrated south in the fall due to some food or weather cues. I hope they come back!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-30201979787710932122019-02-11T09:17:39.905-05:002019-02-11T09:17:39.905-05:00We had Carolina Wrens here one year; now, none.

Luckily for me, we are Blue Jay Central--they are my all-time favourite bird.<br /><br />Like another commenter above, I am curious about Chinese Cauliflower.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-34117681750440331352019-02-11T09:07:03.196-05:002019-02-11T09:07:03.196-05:00The cowl is gorgeous, I think I thought it was a s...The cowl is gorgeous, I think I thought it was a sweater in your past post so I apologize for that.

What is Chinese cauliflower? <br /><br />We used to have tons of the purple house finch and then several years ago, none! Never came back after years of year round feeding. Not many chickadees and very few titmouse. Chickadees were my dad's favorite and when he sat quietly in the woods, he could hand feed them.marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.com
