Stumbled out of bed to look out the window for a peek at the thermometer. Still melting. Then something seemed wrong. It was like the ground was moving, serious movement. Well in the blearyness of waking up and not wearing glasses it took a moment to realize there were so many birds on the ground it really looked like the ground itself. There must have been a hundred, mostly redpolls and pine grosbeaks. Apparently the melting of the surface snow exposed all the seed they have spilled so far this winter and they were chowing down. Hardly any were on the feeders themselves, it was like they all took to grazing. They never cease to be amazing.
