Weekend feeder update
The backyard feeder is doing a good business these days. Finch numbers vary from day-to-day. Here's what I noticed this morning:
Red-bellied Woodpecker (female - see photo)
Hairy Woodpecker - 3
Downy Woodpecker - 1
White-breasted Nuthatch - 2
Red-breasted Nuthatch - 1
Blue Jay - 12 +
Black-capped Chickadee - 12 +
American Tree Sparrow - 5
American Goldfinch - 6
Pine Grosbeak - 3
Pine Siskins were here on and off through the week, as were a few Common Redpolls.
A new yard bird for the year was Ruffed Grouse that landed in the cedar outside the bedroom window.
Near Gannon's Narrows today, I came across a flock of 30 Cedar Waxwings and an overflying dark phased Rough-legged Hawk.
