Yard bird #107 was spotted today by Frances just now during
our GBBC: AMERICAN TREE SPARROW. It fed from one of the
ground feeders we put out on the snow. Generally we've had
a nice mix of birds the past week, with regular visits by
EASTERN TOWHEE (up to 3 males) and FOX SPARROW. Today we
finally got our female HAIRY WOODPECKER back (absent the
past week). Lots of EUROPEAN STARLINGS, COMMON GRACKLES,
NORTHERN CARDINALS, and WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS. Good
numbers of DARK-EYED JUNCOS and AMERICAN GOLDFINCH. Plus
the other usual suspects.
