Tropical Storm Feeder Birds

Even with Tropical Storm Edouard, the birds were coming around the feeder. Cardinals were out there at first light this morning. I've heard chickadees and Blue Jays calling already.t I've recorded a 52.1 mph wind gust on my weather station. I took all my feeders down, but scattered sunflower seeds on the ground feeder for the birds. They don't seem too concerned about it. There are several White Ibis and a Little Blue Heron in the pasture behind the house taking advantage of the rain-soaked ground. The center of circulation has yet to pass us, so we'll see if we get more gusty winds and how the birds handle that. Just rain and a little wind so far, although the radar shows a little heavier stuff coming in soon.
