I forgot mention that we also counted a lovely female Purple Finch! I looked through our records quickly and I think that is only the second sighting here since December 2010. It was a good day!

It was the first really significant snow cover we've had here in south Logan Co. this year and the bird activity was amazing at the feeders. We counted 30 total species for the day, all but the Meadowlarks, Red-headed and Bobwhites from the breakfast nook window. We too had unusually large flocks of Grackles, Redwings and Cowbirds, but we also had at least six DE Juncos around the feeders, (we rarely see even a single). We also watched a Fox Sparrow for several hours and counted our first ever American Tree Sparrow here, which appeared literally under the window (takes our "house" count to 124). Once again, the Hairy WP announced his presence by tapping on the deck! We noticed several Doves and White-crowned Sparrows that were missing most, or all, of their tail feathers today. We're speculating that they went to bed wet, in the torrential rain, and froze fast to whatever they were roosting on(?)
