Backyard Wintertime Nature in New Jersey.

Winter birds (Blue Jay, Northern Cardinal, Tufted Titmouse, and Mourning Dove) at and around the feeder on a cold morning. They all left when a couple of Turkey Vultures landed in a nearby tree to warm in the morning sun.




Daily Electric Energy Used (96.1 kWh) from Sense Home Energy Monitor and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (51.0 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. Sunny most of the day. Another high for the most solar energy produced this winter. Still not enough to completely power everything in the house especially since was really cold out and the Geothermal HVAC system was running almost continuously. A deficit of 45.1 kWh.

House Finch and Tufted Titmouse. It is interesting watching how the different birds deal with sunflower seeds. Cardinals and Finches are able to crack open the seed and eat the meat within their beak. Most of the other birds have to hold the seed with their feet and knock at the seed with their beak until they crack it open. Some do it at the feeder and others fly away to a tree branch or other hard surface.

The new bird today is a Downy Woodpecker. I thought it might be a Hairy Woodpecker, but this bird is smaller. Other birds that stopped by include a House Finch, Dark-eyed Junco, Tufted Titmouse, and Black-capped Chickadee.
