In the Bird Storm at my feeders this weekend I had 10-15 Purple Finches (I believe) along with the usual suspects in larger numbers than usual. 

  Also the large flock of Candian Geese at Herrington has departed, taking the Brant with them evidently, they've been gone a couple of days. In its place a smallish flock of Ring Bill Gulls, a bedraggled grumpy looking Blue Heron and a few Killdeer. 
   
   
  Juncoes 6-7
  Cardinals 5
  White Throated Sparrows - 5-6
  Tufted Titmice 5
  Chickadees - 3 
  Redwing Blackbirds ~10
  Blue Jays 4-5
  Goldfinch 1 (been gone for a long time, first one in a while)
  House Sparrows - many fewer than usual 10 maybe
  Red Bellied Woodpecker
  Downy Woodpecker - the tiniest ones I've ever seen
  White Breated Nuthatch - 2-3
  Carolina Wren - love that suet!  1 pair +1
  Mourning Dove 2
   
  Not at Feeders but Around
   
  Pileated Woodpecker - 1 pr
  unidentified hawk
  Mockingbird - 2
  Robin, just 1
   
  Heard But not Seen
  Hermit Thrush 2?
  unidentified Nuthatch - higher 'yank yank' than White Breasted
Eastern Towhee (?)

They are starting to show up ...

A flock of 15 (!) was sighted in Anne Arundel County on Sunday 
(12/31/2006) on the South Haven peninsula and yesterday (1/2/2007), 
we had a male on our feeders here in nearby Davidsonville.
