We've been watching our feeders regularly here in Laurel (PG
County) and have seen as many as 7 HOUSE FINCHES at a time.
Today we had at least 4 (3 male, 1 female). Since I haven't
posted in a while, here's today's yard list, as reported to
eBird. Also today I had 2 adult male HOODED MERGANSERS at
Rocky Gorge Reservoir just up the road (I only stopped by
for about 5 mins).
