Last winter the fields around the house had been planted with spring wheat. Very few birds could be seen feeding on these fields. In contrast, with the fields left as stubble, there are now always birds of some sort to be seen upon them. This morning I came across a small mixed flock with yellow hammer, greenfinches, chaffinches and redwings. In addition I have frequently seen a covey of french partridge and crows and magpies are often seen. Skylarks are also still in the area,somehting I did not witness at all last winter.
I also happened upon a flock of siskins in a garden tree, a first for this area.
