Hi All, While doing other things on the 4th I also made note of the birds that were coming into our yard. In all I counted 32 species. Some were coming to the feeders, some were coming to the yard stream and still others were just feeding in the trees around the yard or flying through. I got photos of some of the birds and a couple of animals too. For those interested click on this link to see the photos http://www.pbase.com/mayhorn/july_4th_2009 Below is the complete list. I hope you had a nice holiday.
