So much enjoyed the recent bird club picture from David Raines 2008 JanFeb
196.  What a great shot.  No snow here in Texas but have some new birds
starting to show up. Kind of sparse on the counts. Guess my neighbors are feeding well also. Hope you and yours are doing well. No pictures from me
on this one.  We have a couple of Nuthatches nesting in one of our patio
bird houses.  Been trying to take a picture of them, however, they are so
quick, I have run out of patience holding the camera.  The Goldfinch are
completely gone now, put the feeders up for the season.  Nothing else here
will eat the thistle seed.

Backyard count:  Conroe Texas March 8, 2008

3 Purple Finches
2 Downey Woodpeckers
2 Red Bellied Woodpeckers
7 Morning Doves
2 Nuthatches
1 Carolina Wren
6 Female Cardinals
3 Male Cardinals
8 House Sparrows
2 Sharp Shinned Hawks (One of them is eating my doves and some of the other
small birds)

At my Country Club Golf Course: Saturday also

1 Great Blue Heron
1 Snowy Egret
5 Blue Birds
3 Red Tailed Hawks

All not a bad day, except for my golf game.

Good Birding
