| Female oriole at mealworm feeder 1/12 |
Normal rainfall and cold temperatures held true for the first part of 2025, including a rare Lowcountry snow event on January 23, but a drier climate cycle began to form by the end of February. Notable observations included Baltimore orioles at jelly feeder, and pine warbler at seed feeders. The return of the brown creeper was welcome, and the yellow-bellied sapsuckers with their red markings are always handsome. Red-winged blackbirds mixed in with robins to scour the leaves on the ground, and goldfinches were notably absent from my feeders this winter.
The last weekend in February I was able to attend a Bird Banding conference at Kiawah.
