I've participated every year since the first year. So far I have 20 species for today's count. Pretty good for a February day in lower NY.
It's fun and easy....everyone that has a feeder should do it. |

I managed 16 species yesterday, so by comparison you have a nice variety. The red-wing blackbirds have just arrived, but looks like the white-crowned sparrows have already departed. Our Carolina wren has gone into hiding for the occasion.

I *love* red-winged blackbirds...it shouldn't be much longer 'til I start seeing them here! They are a true harbinger of spring in my eyes. I can't wait.

My Carolina's have been absent the last two days of the count, Turkeys never showed up yesterday either! I had a large mixed flock of Blackbirds yesterday. It was an extremely windy day. Now we are expecting snow overnight, when that happens I get a *flock* of cardinals that can number up to 25! So far 5 have been gathered under my feeder this am.
One of the greatest daily joys for me, is to fill up my feeders and watch the action. Inexpensive way to get a mini vacation all Winter long. |
