looks like a dragon or a bird
Comments (3)Just noticed I had the wrong plant. Same common name but the scientific name of the plant that makes that particular seed is Proboscidea parviflora...See MoreRobins Robins Lots of Robins
Comments (11)IN the groups of birds, there were some that were similar to the Robins, dark gray, yellow beak and eye, but clearly no reddish orange breast coloring. They quickly moved away from my yard (still covered with a lot of snow and water) to another farther down that had more open grass and soil. The Northern Mockingbirds are too light gray, and I didn't see any white whits markings, though I could have easily missed them due to the distance. The Cedar Waxwings are a wishful possibility, but again, the birds I saw were of a uniformly dark color. Also, there are no berries around here. They were all gobbled up quickly in fall, and any drupes left on some trees were chased down by the squirrels on their high-wire act. The squirrels even go into my yews and eat all the little red berries. The birds I saw were clearly pecking and digging in the ground to find food. Today is colder and windy, and there aren't as many birds around...See MoreWhat looks like a robin but not quite?
Comments (4)After looking at a bazillion pictures of robins, towhees and waxwings, I think they were robins after all! I never noticed that robins have a white area under the tail that can be seen when they are flying. Also I must have confused the white area around the eyes with what I thought were stripes on the head. Just now I went out and saw some robins, very healthy, chubby robins. Must have been them....See MoreTiny bird looks like an American Goldfnch.
Comments (3)Thanks. The description and pictures in the link seem right on. I have never seen hundreds but I recall seeing eight to ten in the summertime around the sunflowers....See More
