Including with my backyard the Bethesda campus of Landon School gave me an
opportunity to stretch my legs this afternoon and compile a list to send to
our friends in Citizen Science at the National Audubon Society. Here it is:
Ring-billed Gull - 2
Rock Pigeon - 1
Mourning Dove - 12
Red-bellied Woodpecker - 2
Downy Woodpecker - 2
Hairy Woodpecker - 1
Carolina Chickadee - 2
Tufted Titmouse - 1
White-breasted Nuthatch - 2
Winter Wren - 2
American Robin - 60
Northern Mockingbird - 2
European Starling - 50
Eastern Towhee - 2
Fox Sparrow - 1
Song Sparrow - 1
White-throated Sparrow - 6
Dark-eyed Junco - 5
Northern Cardinal - 3
Common Grackle - 10
House Finch - 2
House Sparrow - 20
Hardly startling stuff, but fun. The GBBC goes through tomorrow, so if you
haven't submitted a checklist, consider doing so.
