We had a below average list of birds for this year’s count.
Total of 59 birds of 12 species seen. Notables were a Cooper’s and Red-tailed Hawk.
Our backyard hasn’t been producing the greatest amounts of birds of late. We have had thirty or more American Goldfinches at one time and 50-75 House Finches but these numbers were 4 and 12 respectively. No Black-capped Chickadee which is very odd but at least the Red-bellied Woodpecker showed up for peanuts. The Blue Jays were not around and the Red-breasted Nuthatch that made a brief appearance last Monday was no where to be found.
Last year we had a pair of White-throated Sparrows but alas, those too were missing.



To promote bird conservation through conservation marketing. By showing people the joys of birding, we hope to bring people and nature together, instead of at odds.
