Hi folks.
Tuesday 12/22/09 report.
There was a little over an inch of new snow on the ground and snow was still 
lightly falling during my hike this morning.  The temperature was 23 degrees 
and there was a slight breeze.  The following birds were heard this morning:

Mourning Dove
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker
Blue Jay
American Crow
Black-capped Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
White-breasted Nuthatch
Eastern Bluebird
Northern Cardinal
Purple Finch
American Goldfinch

There was even less singing this morning than yesterday, with the only song 
being the slow song of the White-breasted Nuthatch.  A short "Wik-a wik-a 
wik-a" of the Red-bellied Woodpecker was also heard as I returned to the yard.  
At least two Eastern Bluebirds were heard calling as they flew overhead through 
the falling snow.  The White-throated Sparrow with the drooping right wing is 
still being seen at the feeders.
