This was the first weekend of Project FeederWatch
(http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/index.html), so I put in
an extra effort watching birds at our feeders in Laurel.
Here's the tally (for FeederWatch, only the maximum number
of individuals seen over a two-day period are reported, and
only birds attracted to the yard/feeders/birds are counted).
I thought it might be of interest:
