Feeder Numbers also up:
Like Scott, my feeder number are out of sight this week. Similarly, I have
in excess of 50 Mourning Doves, 70+ House Finches, about 40 Goldfinches.
Juncos are normally rare at my feeder, but 10 - 20 are frequenting the
feeder this week. Other feeder species have not increase similarly. I
assume this is due to the weather in part, but my feeder numbers are the
most I have ever had at this location. My first winter in this spot was
2000-2001.

Subject: [birdky] RPT: Feeder Bird Numbers Doubled
Numbers of some birds at the feeder have doubled in the past 2 weeks. A
count this morning yielded 64 mourning doves, 62 goldfinches, 45 juncos, and
27 house finches. These numbers represent the highest number of birds seen
at one time at the feeders. There are probably 100 or more goldfinches out
there, but it has been a few days since that many were visiting all at once.
The white junco has not been seen in a long time and the siskin has been
gone for about a week.
