Five days ago I found a flock of migrating female Pine Grosbeaks enjoying Pygmy Crabapples, while yesterday afternoon a Pileated Woodpecker was enjoying red berries. Normally by March 26th (today) the winter woods are largely free of snow … not this year. There are still many feet of the white stuff on the ground. Thus, food still found on trees is a great prize. (actually the woodpecker was not very good at getting the crabapples … most fell on the ground)
