It was definitely a hawk or something that looked like a hawk, blue gray, not too big but it landed right in front of me in my Walnut tree on one of lower branches. I was so startled that I did not even have time to grab the camera. </p> Is it possible that I saw a Coopers Hawk land in my tree.

Several different groups like last week. A lone Cardinal was at one of my hanging feeders which I have never seen before, I thought they only would feed on the ground or a platform. She was right in there with the Finches. </p> <p>I just read an article in the Star and Tribune, commenting on the spotty appearance of birds this year. Here is the website if anyone is interested. http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/homegarden/40222147.html?elr=KArksUUUU</p> My feeders were mobbed today for the first time in a week.

I hope to see it them again soon! There were four robins in our backyard when the weather was warmer for a short period of time. I hope to see it them again soon!

Nice to have them back. Makes me know that Spring is actually going to come.</p> We have had a consistent group of House and Gold Finchs (I can’t tell the purple Finchs from the House Finch) and I think Pine Grosbeaks, Chickadees, and Junkos that have come in as a flock several times a day for the last week.

However, I had not paid much attention since we didn't put any seed in the feeders. We did see a robin out front on Saturday when the birds were active in the area.
